I, personally, would like to see all muzzle loader seasons restricted to traditional side locks with open sights and shooting only patched round ball.
I would like to clarify my position on muzzle loader season. I don't care what type of muzzle loaders people use during the regular muzzle loader season. What I would like to see is a separate PRIMITIVE season for primitive (read sidelock) muzzle loaders using only iron sights and patched round ball. This would provide for another season to take deer, especially as deer numbers are increasing, but hunter numbers are declining.
