Can i use a scope on my muzzle loader in a short range weapon season?

Yes. The requirement for open sites is restricted to muzzle loader only hunts. In short range and any general weapon hunt, the restrictions for muzzle loader are limited to a minimum of.45 caliber for deer, pronghorn, lion, and wolves, and a minimum of .50 caliber for elk, moose, big horn sheep, mountain goat, and black beer. Also no electronic equipment can be attached to any weapon for hunting big game.
