The new rules are posted today on the website. Still pretty confusing. The verbage is below:

Muzzleloader Rules Effective January 2007
Muzzleloader hunt rules require that weapons must:
[ul][*]Use all-lead bullets at least within 10/1,000 (.010) of the bore diameter.[*]Have open sights.[*]Use only loose black powder or loose synthetic black powder.[*]Have an exposed, pivoting hammer, either side-lock or in-line.[*]Have an exposed ignition using only flint, musket caps or percussion caps.[*]Be at least .45 caliber for deer, antelope or mountain lion.[*]Be at least .50 caliber for elk, moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goat or black bear.[/ul] Muzzleloader weapons that don’t meet these restrictions may be used in 'short range weapon' and 'any weapon' seasons.




Have an exposed, pivoting hammer, either side-lock or in-line.

That line's gonna cause some confusion that they are going to have to clarify! I only know of a few "In-lines" that also have a pivoting hammer. Can't imagine why they would rule all the plunger style in-lines out that meet the exposed ignition requirements.
