Did you know Montana is the ONLY state in the union that doesn't have a dedicated muzzleloader season? We just got off the phone with Caleb Hinkle, a state representative from Montana who is sponsoring a bill to bring a muzzleloader exclusive season to hunters in Montana. Read more about Caleb's bill here. Caleb's love of muzzleloading and it's accompanying history started when he was a young boy and his father sat him down to watch the movie "Gettysburg", released in 1993. It was during that first viewing that young Caleb fell in love with American history and it’s companion, the muzzleloader. Hunters in Montana can use their muzzleloaders during the normal rifle season, but Caleb wants to reward those who hunt with “heritage” arms some extra time in the field. “It can be hard to introduce a new hunting season.”, says Caleb, “We don’t want to step on any toes. The other seasons have their time and we respect that.” Caleb’s bill, Montana House Bill 242, would give hunters using traditional muzzleloaders an extra 9 days in the field. If you are interested in watching the hearing, you can do so at 3pm Mountain Standard Time online at Leg.mt.gov. Click “Watch and Listen” and then select “Fish and Game”.

We’d like to thank Caleb for his dedication to muzzleloading hunters in Montana. It’s not often we hear of new muzzleloader seasons being introduced, and seeing one lead by a young man such as Caleb shows us there is a bright future ahead for muzzleloading enthusiasts.
