Default ML Seasons, state to state

I am curious how other states outside of Minnesota organize their ML season(s)? In Minnesota there is one season, after firearms from 11/24 to 12/9 or 16 days.

In Wisconsin we can use muzzleloaders during modern season. Modern season is in middleNovember around the Thanksgiving week, and ends just before December. Muzzleloader season starts right after the modern season and goes into December. Some years they even extent that. Although by December, the deer have been chased all fall and now into the winter. They are spooked and very unpredictable in their patterns.

In Louisiana, you get a week in mid-November (just before the regular rifle season) and a week at the end of January (at the end of the regular rifle season.

Plus,you can use any weapon you wantat any time during the Nov to Jan regular rifle season.

In middleTN (unit L), for muzzleloader only we have a week in the beginning of November and a week in the beginning December, but we can also use a muzzleloader anytime during the regular gun season which starts in mid-November.

In VA we have first Saturday in Nov to 3rd Friday of November for ML season. Any ML, inline, FL, any bullet, any sights, smokeless OK, 45 cal or bigger. Then 7 weeks of rifle season, where you can use a ML. 3 bucks total. 3 doe, but in the county I live in it is unlimited doe. Actually season was extended 1 month to Feb 3, 2008.

Illinois:

First Firearm season Nov. 16th, 17th, and 18th.
Second Firearm Season Nov. 29th, 30th, Dec 1st, and 2nd.
Muzzleloader season Dec. 7th, 8th, and 9th.
Late firearm Season Jan 18th, 19th, and 20th.

You can also use muzzleloader tag during the 2nd Firearm season. Leftover firearm and muzzleloader tags can be used in the late season. Muzzleloader tags have to be used with a muzzleloader in that season.

Basically any ML rifle .45 or greater shooting any Hollowpoint or soft nosed bullet (no FMJ) 44 cal or bigger. Scopes, Smokeless, pellets, primers are ok.
