Jake- I'll answer your post, seeing as it's an intelligent question.

I'm not opposed to any additional opportunities, and I don't have anything against flintlock season. The original topic here was muzzleloader season, and since the post was created in October, it seems logical that the OP was referring to the week-long season that just ended.

I'd love to see PA have a week-long season for antlered or antlerless deer, for any muzzle-loading rifle, same as they do in almost every other state in the union. You get one buck tag in this state, so if you kill during that season, you're done buck hunting for the year; works everywhere else. And regardless what the PGC cheerleaders here on this site may think, many I speak with and hunt with believe PA needs to come out of the dark ages with a lot of the antiquated rules that are in place. But, to their credit, things are slowly changing here, not by arguing and insults on the internet, but by writing to the PGC, organizing and petitions to those who write the rules, and by voicing one's opinion (the slower folks or those who revel in their ignorance like to call this "complaining").
