<migra>Muzzleloader seasons in Washington State
I am contemplating a move to eastern Washington State. Do they have muzzleloader seasons there? What are the restrictions? (sabots scopes etc.)

J WisnerCurrent regs state no optics contaning glass.
The bullets must be lead, not jacketed.
The firing mechanism must be exposed to the weather.
Elk can only be hunted with 50 cal or larger.
The rifle must be unloaded in a vehicle, the cap must be removed not the powder charge.

<migra>Thanks a ton, I was beginning to think no one was going to reply to this. I suppose I could have gotten off my dead ass and checked with the WA game dept. It looks like my Renegade will come out of the closet.
