Black Powder Before or After Gun Season?

[Spring Creek Calls]

Here in MI we have a black powder season after the regular firearms season for deer. I notice some posting pics/posts of muzzleloader kills prior to gun season. How does your state do it? Please tell us the state also.

In Kentucky we have a couple day long early black powder season in October, then gun season in November, then a week or so long late black powder season in December.

Here in PA, we have two powder seasons. one before the rifle season and one after the season. The first one is in late november and runs in the last two weeks of rifle season and the late season is in january.

We open archery, then get a week of ML, then gun, another week of ML, then finish with archery.

We have both in Arkansas.

For the states that have both early and late, does the ML season run along with archery?

For the states that have both early and late, does the ML season run along with archery?

In AR, the archery season runs from Oct. 1st through the end of Feb.  One can hunt with a  bow during M/L or gun season, but have to abide by the buck/doe rules and hunter orange regs of the M/L or gun season if you do.

  New York has an early season up in the mountains on east side of the state.  Then we have a state wide season that starts the day after the regular firearms season closes.  I believe it's the 12th - 20th of December this year.
