sounds more like a PRIMITIVE mzl season, sux for the inline owners. what's next are they gonna ban compound bows.
I cut my teeth on a T/c Hawken, and patched round balls. I will admit I am an inline guy now, but would LOVE to see Fla go to some select traditional m/l quota hunts. I would drag them back out of retirement

The traditional bow guys look down upon the compound guys like they are from an alien planet
I think FL should have a muzzleloader just like they do now AND THEN have a primitive along the lines of what Idaho and other states have....but Florida should simply add more days to the hunting season. So there would be no loss for anyone and a net gain in the number of days during the season.
