As far as I know you can use a 209 muzzleloader during a modern firearm season..Did you read the regs yet..they do provide some of the answers you seek.   :)

After looking through the muzzy regs (pg. 70, sec. 5):

 muzzleloading firearms used during a modern firearm season are not required to meet ignition, sight or double-barrel restrictions

Me-thinks you're good to go, at that point, its basically a modern firearm anyway  :P

inlines are legal. pending they use the correct igniton system. you can use the 209 primers and scopes in the modern season. you have to buy a modern firearms deer tag to do so. the the regs are on line as well as in the handouts. they will answer all the questions

for muzzleloader season - open breach in-line's, musket caps, #11 percussion caps, and flint locks are all fair game.  Scopes are not.

If you want to use it during modern firearm season - 209, scopes, and closed breaches are all fair game.

You must buy the correct tag and hunt the correct season to match the tag.  best of luck

That's about the cleanest summary I've seen on it.  I was trying to explain it to some friends a couple of years ago from Minnesota... it took a couple of hours and a bottle of whiskey to explain.

Might have.  Them Minnesota boys get deliberately dense when the cork comes out of the jug.  I'm sure I went over it a couple of times; but it's just as likely I mis-explained something else to them the next day, though.
