Stan, our archery season opens mid Sept and stays open until nearly the end of Dec. It remains open through rifle and black powder seasons. Rifle comes first, typically the second Saturday in Nov is opener. Different parts of the state have different length of rifle season. The longer rifle zones are typically 2 full weeks plus a couple days. Black powder opens usually the weekend after rifle is all closed up. You can legally hunt with black powder during the rifle season. During rifle season there are no optics restrictions for black powder. But during black powder season you have to have a medical reason to legally hunt with a scope on a mzl loader.
MZL loader season usually runs till around Christmas, archery typically stays open a little beyond mzl loader.
