Title: is there really no muzzleloader Elk season in Unit 572?
Post by: Wose on August 02, 2013, 01:43:44 PM: I've been going blind, looking at the regulations booklet, but it looks like there is no general muzzleloader season for Elk in unit 572.

1) Am I just not seeing it?
2) Is it a misprint?
3) Or is it true there is no general muzzle loader season in 572? If so, does anybody know why?

Regards,

David

2. Not a misprint; no print at all.
3. True. Because muzzy hunters are simply an irritant to Dave Ware and he wishes them no good will; or
seasons/gmus to hunt in.

You do still have the option of hunting 572 with your muzzleloader- you'll just have to do so with a modern firearm tag and during modern firearm season.
