I'm hoping muzzleloader season will be less crowded, but I'm not counting on it. I think it depends on how many who normally hunt modern decide to switch over to muzzleloader this year. It may not be too many, since the season is still only seven days, it's still after the peak of the rut, and there are no additional antlerless opportunities. Also, late season opportunities actually decreased due to the elimination of Coweeman.
