Muzzleloading license

[Neiko]

A guy at work said that if you did not fill your rifle license you can use it as a Muzzleloading license? I tried to call the DNR but they are closed. If it is true another questions is can I take a doe with it in a area that had a lottery? Thanks for any guidance.

NO. And I think we already have a thread on this. You could make the switch from one to the other before rifle season if you changed your mind about which season to hunt.

You can't hunt two seasons with one license.

Go up to the Deer Hunting Forum and there is a thread about this.

But the answer is no.

Good luck.

Thanks guys. I should have looked there first.

Frankly, it does get a little old buying archery, firearms, & muzzleloader licenses. Still can only take 1 buck.

Heck- you don't need to buy a spinning reel license, tip up license, and baitcaster license for fishing. Better be careful- might give someone an idea.

No worries about asking that's wat this forum is built upon. I miss other threads all the time and I soens a lot of time on the forum lol

Others r correct u can't use ur Gun license, ull have to buy ML license but ur Antlerless tag is still valid tho.

Good luck and stay warm

You used to be able to buy the "all season" license. It was just about the same price as all three, but at least you didn't need the three licenses. Don't know why they ever got rid of that...I bought it every year. Sometimes I don't buy all of them now so they are losing money on me.

I didn't think this was true, but a friend had it confirmed by the DNR & another buddy finally found it in the regs. If you have an unused doe permit from firearm season in a lottery area it IS good for muzzy season. I think that's kind of ridiculous, since you had to declare which season you were applying for when you bought it, but it definitely is still good. You have to buy a muzzy license in order to use it, but it's good.

That of course is also assuming you haven't tagged a buck in a lottery or hunter's choice area either.

When I first hunted the muzzleloader season back in 97 you had to choose either the regular firearms season or muzzleloader. The muzzleloader seasons were way quieter back then. When the all season tag came out I started buying that. I never heard why they did away with that license. I wouldn't mind seeing it go back to the either/or gun seasons personally.
