How many muzzle loaders do you suppose are in the lower part of the state? They ca hunt with center fire from Aug 15--Jan 1. Upstate must hunt archery or muzzle loaders until gun season opens in october. Low state already has been hunting 6 weeks with guns. Open the season in zone 1 & 2 for any weapon....like low state...[/U][/B][/B]
