    Politicians get money from greeny weenies that want to save a bug or worm. All the money on earth will never get rid of any insect. We should feed politicians stink bugs or the snakes that invaded FLA. Why not just kill them. They kill pigs at night now and from choppers since they are destructive pests. Deer are out of control but to shoot one at 200 yards is wrong.

    I would also hope that the .38-40 and .44-40 are included in an updated list.

    BTW, I have hunted shotgun deer with the same group on the same private ground for 20 years and we have never had an incident. We all run every drive with the same people in the same locations. Both drivers and standers are given directions and extreme peer pressure makes sure this happens. Young guys do all the walking, I am 46 and still walk....

    Not many scopes around, a few rifled barrels and fiber optic sights though, along with a few really old pump guns. Been filling tags this way for years.

    The biggest push for the .450 Bushmaster is from the Tactical world with the AR platform. Iowa is still huntable, to .357mag handgun range...

    Looks like they won't be releasing any info until the new 2017-2018 regulation book comes out.

    From what I found out since they don't meet the NRC straight walled cartridge, 45-70 and 444 will be grandfathered in.
