The Muzzle Loader season I was talking about started on Sat. and runs to next Sat. You can use an inline. It messes up archery hunters for a week. After xmas they have a flintlock only season in Pa. I think the PGC. has it ass backwards if you ask me. It should be flintlock in Oct. and inline in Dec. but what do I know I am only a hunter who has hunted for 42yrs. now. I guess the guy sitting at a desk in Harrisburg knows how to assign hunting seasons.
