[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2236050, member: 64108"] New Mexico has two type muzzleloader zones, standard & restricted; [HEADING=1][B]NEW MEXICO[/B][/HEADING] New Mexico offers muzzleloading opportunities for mule deer, elk, antelope, whitetail deer and Coues deer. Because New Mexico uses a random lottery draw that is not weighted with bonus or preference points hunters can find some great draw odds. When looking at any particular species pay special attention to the season dates for muzzleloaders. Some of the seasons may have more desirable dates than corresponding rifle tags and carry lower draw odds. Muzzleloader requirements can be broken into two separate subcategories in New Mexico: standard muzzleloader hunts and restricted muzzleloader-only hunts. When participating in standard muzzleloader season in New Mexico hunters are allowed to use black powder, Pyrodex, or any black powder substitutes. Smokeless powder is prohibited. Scopes, sabots, and in-line ignition systems are legal. The restricted muzzleloader hunts are found in Units [URL='https://www.gohunt.com/unit/new-mexico-big-game-unit-9']9[/URL], [URL='https://www.gohunt.com/unit/new-mexico-big-game-unit-33']33[/URL] and [URL='https://www.gohunt.com/unit/new-mexico-big-game-unit-52']52[/URL] and are for deer only. [HEADING=2][B]To be legal for a restricted hunt a muzzleloader must:[/B][/HEADING] [LIST] [*]Be loaded only from the muzzle end of the barrel; [*]Use only black powder, pyrodex or an equivalent substitute; and [*]Use only loose powder. Pelletized powder is prohibited. [*]Not use an in-line ignition system; [*]Not use sabots or belted projectiles; and [*]Be fitted only with open sights. Scopes are prohibited. [*]Be capable of only firing one projectile. [*]Scopes, sabots, in-line ignitions, pelletized powder, and belted bullets may be used in any other muzzleloader hunt.
