During the specialized muzzleloader deer season, which weapon types are prohibited?

During this season the hunting method is restricted to muzzleloading firearms, loaded from the muzzle, and in calibers approved by the state. That means only primitive muzzleloaders (like flintlock or percussion, loaded from the muzzle) or modern muzzleloaders that are chambered in a state-approved caliber can be used. All other weapon types—centerfire rifles, rimfire rifles, shotguns, bows, and crossbows—are prohibited. If a firearm is not a muzzleloader or not in an approved caliber, it cannot be carried during this special season.
