I like your thinking, I use only ML's for Hunting, shotgun season too. Back to scoped ML's, our state allows scoped ML's for Muzz. Season, the reason is you get LESS WOUNDED DEER with a scope then with open-sights. If more guy's would switch to ML's during ShotGunn Season it would make them better hunters and there would be less wounded Deer knowing that you only have 1 shot and you better make it a good one or pass.
