you can use an inline for 3 weeks in PA. all of rifle season and the early muzzleloader season. some special reg areas you can use them in the late season as well i believe.

i hope they never change the flintlock season. love not wearing orange and not worrying about it, and love the peace and quiet of flintlock season. 2 weeks with a rifle more then enough deer get taken.

i am not trying to start a pi$$ing match, but comparing an open sighted flintlock to a modern inline with a 209 ignition and probably a scope is not near fair. guys easily make 150-200yd shots with them inlines. i dont know anyone that will shoot over 100 with a flinter

my advice...if you want to hunt the late season buy a flinter! after shooting one youll be hooked! i think the smell of burnt REAL black powder has an effect similar to CRACK! they arent hard to learn, just take a little practice and know how. after that youll be drilling targets at 50yds in no time. thats all the farther id shoot. ill shoot out to 75yds if conditions are perfect and i have a GOOD shot.
