I live in the middle of Wyoming County, WV which is one of the bow counties and the only kind of hunting I do is bowhunting. Right now the season runs from Oct. 18th - Dec. 31st. You are allowed to kill one buck and one doe, or two does for the entire season. Personally - I wouldn't have a problem with them allowing maybe a two week Muzzleloading season, only in return for a longer bow season. Let's say bow season opens on Sept. 14th - Dec. 31st, with a Muzzleloading season running from Nov. 14th - Nov. 30th. Muzzleloading only though, so you have one shot and done, just like a bow. No unloading allowed! NO RIFLES! If you wanna rifle hunt, go to Raleigh, Mercer, or Monroe counties, which is boardering counties.
