If you are using a muzzleloader during modern firearm season you could use a red dot. If you are using a red dot during muzzleloader season it would be illegal. From pg.96 Muzzleloader regulations 3c (It is unlawful to have any electrical device or equipment attached to a muzzleloading firearm while hunting).
