I'm with ya Coondog, the original intent of muzzleloading season was for preserving the old ways of hunting, when hunting skills and knowledge was important. I start to wondering when a fella talks about hunting with his in line and sabots, pyradex pellets, shotgun primers, and then whines because he thinks he should be allowed to use a scope too. That just isn't the spirit of what this season is all about in my opinion
