While I really don't care what the next guy is useing as long as it's not pointed in my direction, I think it's too bad they are allowing smokeless, not a fan of scopes either. Like bow season, ML'r season in my parts has turned into another deer wacking contest where all one has to do is throw a few dollars at it and you can hunt for another month or two. In my state, it used to be called "Special Muzzel Loading season", special is not included in the name anymore, probably because there is nolonger anything special about it.
