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.

I too hunt with ML exclusively regardless of the season but I don't see that as the issue. It may not be this way everywhere but in TN and VA where I hunt, the early ML season is during the peak of the rut. So now you're going to have a considerable more amount of people out in the woods. While everyone is entitled to hunt, that’s not favorable for me as I hunt mainly public land.

It wouldn't generate any more revenue either because the license you pay for is for the weapon of choice. So in many cases, you might lose money because people are no longer buying a ML license.
