crazywednesday:
If I am hunting for an animal that can be legally taken with a scoped rifle, can I use a scoped muzzleloader?

If you have the modern firearm tag and it is during the modern firearm (general) season, yes.  Also, I believe if you have a special permit with a modern firearm tag, yes.

If its for a  "big game animal" then you must hunt during modern firearm season, with a modern tag. If you want to use a scope on a smoke pole. If you are just hunting yotes, then you can use a scope on your muzzle loader any time you want.

You could hunt bears with a scoped muzzleloader. Or as others have said, deer and/or elk during the modern firearm seasons, with a modern firearm tag.
crazywednesday:
Great info! To be more specific, its an area that is firearms restricted, but holds bears. I feel that my chances will be better with a scoped muzzleloader than a bow. It seems the only time muzzleloading regulations are concerned is during elk and deer muzzleloading season. Is that a correct assumption?
