I'm confused by your deer season.In South Carolina we have one month of archery season followed by two weeks of muzzle loader season followed by two and a half months of gun season.It seems to me that your muzzle loader season follows regular gun season??Where does archery season fit in?
During regular gun season can you opt to hunt with a bow or muzzle loader?

The more I listen,the more I hear....and vice versa.

45/70,it's almost a religion.

If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.
