Post by: Akroyd on September 28, 2011, 12:42:42 PM: I was just wondering because u can use lesser equipment during rifle re muzzy or bow, since I have the multi season tag and an archery hunter I was just looking for a straight answer if archery was viewed lesser than muzzy

This is correct. The hierarchy of weaponry goes:

Nuclear bombs
30-06
All other smokeless cartridges
Compound Archery
Traditional Archery
Slingshot
Barbed insults
Muzzleloaders (unless it has a scope, then it's just below "all other smokeless catridges", unless the Compound bow has an illuminock, then...)

Oh, I just thought because you can shoot 200+ yards you would have more capabilities with a muzzleloader, but i stand corrected, I have seen Rambo do it, and I'm pretty sure maybe Chuck Norris could do it too.
