I hope not, it would be during or just before archery season, a few bangs and every mature buck would be nocturnal. Believe me I love muzzle loading but it would kill our archery season, it's bad enough we now have a early rifle season during archery for the young kids.
Now before you blast me on the Kids getting to go out early, they say it's so they can experience hunting. Well if the want to experience hunting then this is no way to get them interested in it, they'd think every time they went hunting they'd see all the deer they did when they were allowed to hunt for that one weekend during archery season when the deer are un pressured. But then when they go hunting and experience what's it's really like when you sit there all day and never see anything some times for days then they'd be really disappointed. I say leave it alone.
