Its muzzleloader season starting tomorrow in RI for about 3 weeks on public land. I'm going to pass this year and continue to hunt with my bow. Unfortunately, family issues have kept me out of the woods lately. A deer "problem area" is being opened to archery only for the first time in November. The tree huggers are trying hard to come to a non-lethal solution to their problem, but if they are unsuccessful, I'm all set to give this area a shot. The rules are pretty wacky (no gut piles near trails, cover your deer with burlap or a tarp when transporting, etc.) Should be interesting...
