Idaho proposed special season open sight centerfire

[Rotnguns]

This is a proposal to be voted on by Idaho Fish and Game this December. I found very few details, but it seems to follow the plan implemented recently in Utah. Any Utah hunters have any experience with this interesting plan? I find it intriguing because I compete in lever-action silhouette and I would simply use the rifles I'm familiar with.

Can’t spot impacts with open sights. Now we have an excuse to shoot 30 cal again

Utahs open sight changes has pushed a couple of my older family members off the mountain and out of their life long units. Their eyesight isn’t what it used to be and they weren’t able to qualify for any help/exemption.

The guys pushing for it here in Idaho are the same guys who pushed for it in Utah. They’ve all had their fun using new “technology” now they want to limit it for everyone.

They only way I'd be okay with it, is if it was tacked on as another primitive weapon tag - a short season right after muzzleloader. But not in lieu of modern rifle entirely in a unit. That idea can go to hell.

Let people decide what they're capable of and interested in, but do not set the precedent that hunting should be limited to primitive weapons entirely - that's a dangerous, slippery slope, which does nothing but remove freedoms and opportunity.

Just make the season a draw or Capp them, these stupid ideas just lead to crowding in other units.
