Here in Missouri, our ML deer season follows on the heels of the regular firearms season. If I had my choice, I would like to see it come earlier before the regular firearms season. It would be nice to get out and have an oppurtunity at a nice buck with a ML before the woods are invaded during the general season. I know we have the early season with a bow, but shouldn't muzzleloaders be afforded the oppurtunity to take a deer before the regular firearms season? I guess I shouldn't complain because any muzzleloader season is WAY better than none at all but what are your thoughts on this and how is your state's ML season set up?
