[QUOTE="billtyler, post: 182282, member: 4694"] Hey TS, when it comes to roundballs, they are very effective (in the right caliber of course). But you bring up a great point about when the muzzleloader season takes place which I’ll try to clarify. Idaho’s game-management zone system is a little confusing—when you purchase a tag you have to specify the area of the state you’re chasing elk, and then decide if you want an A or B license (each one has different pros and cons depending on how you’d like to hunt that season—an A tag for example would allow you to hunt any sex during archery, but not hunt with a rifle at all, where a B tag would allow you to hunt only cows with archery, and any sex during the general rifle season). So depending on the zone and tag you buy, you might not get a muzzleloader option at all. 2007’s muzzle season took place in the last three weeks of November—not during the rut. It’s after nearly all the other seasons (including rifle) have closed, and is open to cows only—no bulls can be harvested. I only bring it up in case the timing makes a difference in anybody’s mind on whether or not in-lines should be used. By late November the elk have been pushed all over hell’s-half-acre, and it’s a last-ditch effort for some to harvest a cow. I can appreciate a lot of the opinions about not creating roadblocks to new hunters and splitting hairs within the sport, but does the timing of the muzzle season have any impact on your opinions??? These have all been great comments. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
