I hunt in Ohio- they allow scopes, inlines, smokeless, pretty much anything during ML season as long as it is a front-stuffer. ML season is only like 4 days long, which is not the greatest. You can use ML during "gun" season, but "gun" season season is shotgun only and lasts 1 week. The last couple years they've had a "bonus" weekend of gun season as well.
All told, we get about 13 days of ML season if we want. Could be better, but I guess it's okay. They really should liberalize the seasons even more, what with the deer overpopulation problem.
