Exactly Muley! Even in modern season when I hunted with the gang ... I carried a .54 caliber Renegade loaded with roundball. And I always got my deer too. So no matter what they call a season, I think those that want to muzzleloader hunt will do so. But it does put more hunters in the woods, harvests more deer, and puts more money in State coffers, by doing away with the muzzleloader season as Semisane explained here.
