I have a odd view I guess, if you want to hunt with a primitive weapon, shouldn;t you be limited to what it was?
and thus, NO scopes on flintlock and the like Muzzleloaders IMO
and maybe should be a different season for them as to IN lines, which as ARE more modern, that I think MOST game depts standards were when these seasons were started!
IN lines have come a LONG way from what a primitive muzzle loader once was!
from farther shooting, more powerful(more or less) and faster reloading!
STill a single shot YES(well most are) but its ability's are way different than what these seasons were when flintlock's were the expected gun of use in them!
MY 2 cents that's all!
