its to keep it a little more traditional. In Colorado for example, no scopes "unless you have a permit due to poor vision" no pellets, no sabots, no smokeless powder.
Only open sights * fiber optics ok* loose powder,conical bullets or patched balls. Plus theres also caliber and bullet weight limits.
Muzzleloader season is a primitive hunt. I'd actually like Colorado to add a special LATE season muzzle loader hunt thats sidelock or flint only with patched ball or lead conical only, loose powder, open sights. I think that would be nice and then for our current Ml season, keep it the same month of september but allow scopes and all that other junk.
