Dan O if you check last years hunting regulations )sorry I do not have this years handy) you will see that in #84 from Nov 4-8 the only restrictions for that area is no dogs. This means that rifles, shotguns, archery & muzzle-loaders could be used. The rifle season as you call it is open for all legal hunting tools. Also you will find out that alot of the MNR district offices are opening up archery in the special muzzle-loader season if the archery hunters ask to be included in that season (has already happened to many areas.
