I am pretty sure AZ allows scopes on Muzzleloader hunts but not on HAM hunts. Just FYI

That's amazing, I can't wait until my state allows rifles during gun season.

Az has no muzzy scope limitations - even during the HAM hunts.

Sorry! We could only use shotgun with slugs in IL forever then IDNR allowed muzzleloaders which could shoot out to 100+ yards and now they can shoot 200+ yds. I guess their fears of people being injured or killed is not a worry any more so this year we can use rifles. We have too much flat ground for rifles I can see NR trying to kill WT way too far for their ability say in a cut corn field and not knowing whats beyond that deer. Most hunters in IL use tree stands anyway where your shooting deer within 50 yds or less so a rifle isn’t needed. I use Mrs Sikora’s Browning Gold with smooth barrel Improved Cylinder choke tube with rifled Sabot slugs it will down a WT at 80+yds every time. That’s the farthest I ever shot one and I know it’s on the money at 80+ yds
