Looks like the WRC is looking at legalizing them for 2021.
No more details than that, sorry.

Blackpowder season has become a joke.
Take one week and give it back to archery only season and fold the other week into the gun/any legal weapon season.
Do you blackpowder? Or hunt for that matter?
As far as I'm concerned Muzzleloader Season can be three... even four weeks long.
Why not?Where do we draw the line on whats legal and whats not?
Are single shot breech loading cartridge rifles next?

Why not? Some states already allow such....
I wonder if these nitrofire guns have a longer range than a single shot 357 S&W magnum?
This proposed rule amendment will allow for the use of pre-loaded powder capsules in muzzleloaders during blackpowder season.
Justification: Products are currently commercially available that make the loading and reloading aspect of using a muzzleloader much easier and safer for hunters. Though the bullet is loaded through the muzzle of the rifle, the powder capsule is loaded through the breech. So, while this system does not used fixed ammunition, the powder is not loaded in the same manner as with a regular inline muzzleloader. Thus, this blackpowder firearm does not meet the current definition in rule. This proposed amendment will allow for the use of new technology that is less intimidating to hunters and may increase opportunities for hunters to use muzzleloaders in a safe way

As used in this Rule, blackpowder firearms means
"Any firearm - including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system - manufactured in or before 1898, that cannot use fixed ammunition; any replica of this type of firearm if such replica is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition; and any muzzle-loading rifle, muzzle loading shotgun, or muzzle-loading or cylinder-loading handgun that is designed to use blackpowder, blackpowder substitute, or any other propellant loaded throughthe muzzle or cylindermuzzle, cylinder, or breech and that cannot use fixed ammunition."
This proposal modifies the definition of a muzzleloading firearm to allow for the use of pre-loaded powder capsules in muzzleloaders during blackpowder season.

Open the season up to any implement of choice. 4 doe 2 buck and you are done. Problem solved.
I agree but with the advent of compounds and inlines I haven't been happy with special seasons in years.I doubt that they can keep the season the same length in some areas.
That’s what I am talking about!
