Our state with all the wisdom that only the government can have has made any gun shooting smokless powder illegal for the muzzle loader season. What a crock. It is still a muzzle loader. The season is a muzzle loader season NOT a black powder season. Thier Idea for the season was doe reduction and only antlerless deer can be taken so what difference does it make? Thet also wont allow scopes during the muzzle loader season which is just discriminating against hunters who like myself with older eyes who can,t shoot open sights very well. Trying to shoot open sights with Bifocals is a real joke. You would think they would want the deer to be taken as humanely as possible. Quess not. We are trying to get an ammendment in for at least handicapped hunters like me. With the loss of your master eye what would a low power or even zero magnification scope hurt. Do the want the doe population reduced or not?[:@] They always have left over permits.
