I think they hunt the Hill Ranch. That would be one of the "Ranching For Wildlife" programs. If so then it's any legal method. A scoped muzzleloader or archery is legal in the rifle season. In the National Forest, Wilderness Areas and private lands not covered in the "Ranching For Wildlife" an open sights muzzleloader is to be used the muzzleloading season. During the rifle season a scoped muzzleloader is legal.
