Guys,

Unless I'm mistaken (it wouldn't surprise me if I was) that you cannot use a muzzleloader for the 1st gun season, but you can use either a shotgun or Muzzleloader during the second season. Someone correct me please if I'm wrong. Now during the Muzzleloader season you can use the ole smoke poles but not the shotguns.

Anyway for both seasons I plan on being out in Macoupin Co.

You can use muzzleloader, handgun, or shotgun 1st, 2nd, and late firearm season(the old handgun season). Muzzleloader season the week after 2nd firearm season is for muzzleloaders only.

newhunter1atwork,
You can use shotgun, handgun, or a muzzleloader during the two firearms seasons. You could carry all three if you wanted to do so. Where you might be confused is that you can use a muzzleloader only permit to hunt the 2nd firearms season, with only an ML of course!

My brother is using the Hornady SST! he uses them through his remington 870! they shoot a sweet patern for him! they dont shoot near as well through mine though! but if you are going touse them and havent sighted in your gun yet, i highly suggest purchasing WOLF's they shoot bout the same (up to 50 yards, and dont travel quite as fast) but gives you a really good starting point! then once you get a good pattern shoot the Hornadys and fine tune it! saves tons of money!
