muzzleloaders in a shotgun zone?

On the way back from deer hunting yesterday, a friend of mine said that it's legal to use muzzleloaders in and during a shotgun only season. I know big game caliber handguns are legal in shotgun zones, but are muzzleloading rifles? confused.gif

Can anyone cast some light on this?

Thanks....

What you need is the Nikon Omega scope and a GOOD set of quick detach rings/bases. I have Talley Manufacturing's set on the Omega and they are supposed to be the best out there. They come off easy after the season and you should be pretty good to go putting them back on (although of course you always need to check that its still zeroed in when you re-mount it...). Put it on for the shotgun season, take it off for the Muzzleloader season!

It's perfectly legal to use a muzzleloader in a shotgun zone. I did it this year with Sandmannd, and have done it in the past. When we were stopped by the CO, he made no mention of me using a muzzleloader other than asking if there as powder and lead in the barrel.

i always thought that muzzy was a waste of time. But man, after i have done it for the last two years, i will have to say different.

You look at shooting in a whole different matter. Where you only have one shot, and you have to make sure that you take the right one. It by far, makes you a better hunter in the long run.

My guess is that by saying "crock," he is referring to the scope laws. Scope during firearm season is legal, but not during muzzleloader season.

If that is the case, I agree with him.

Just don't forget that you will need a firearm license during the firearm season. This is different than the muzzleloader license during muzzleloader season. I'm sure that you probably already know that but I'm sure it happens out there.

If by crock he meant allowing a scoped muzzy in slug gun season because it could easily have a much more effective range in many cases, then I would disagree. You still only get one shot in most cases unless you have a patient deer and a fast reloader. Still, one shot is all you should need in many instances.

If he means a crock by not allowing a scope on a ML during ML season, then I disagree. It's supposed to be a primitive weapon season and let's face it, today's modern MLs are about as primitive as a nuclear weapon. The ony difference is you get one shot, which if you have good placement is all you should need. Allowing scopes on MLs during ML season would be the same to me as allowing a laser scope on a bow, or rather one that would actually place a red (Contact Us Please) on a deer so there's no need to put that much effort in aiming.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
