Firearm zones.

[spoonman]

I live in Thurston county and hunt for deer in a lot of shotgun only areas and also some shotgun areas in Mason county.  I was trying to find some info online about using muzzleloaders and what they fall under for zoning purposes? Wondering if any of you know? I have also been trying to find a recent zoning map for Mason county but cant seem to find that either.

Typically firearm restriction zones allow the use of shotguns, muzzle loaders, archery or revolvers. What specific areas are you looking at?

I know all about that from wdfw. The firearm restrictions are set by the county, not the wdfw. I hunt in a shotgun zone, meaning I can use a shotgun, bow, pistol, but not a center dire rifle. What I am trying to find is if I'm allowed to hunt with a muzzleloader in that zone? Both Thurston county and Mason county dont list muzzleloaders as a weapon in their zoning maps.
