I can't find out in the bylaws if it's allowed. I just like the accuracy of my Muzzleloader setup.

DURING SHOTGUN DEER SEASON hunters may use shotguns no larger than 10 gauge, bows and arrows, or muzzle- loaders not smaller than .44 caliber, or larger than .775 caliber. Hunters may

use modern muzzleloaders, hinge action muzzleloaders, muzzleloaders with tele- scopic sights, and sabot rounds. Rifled barrel shotguns are legal during shotgun deer season.
All hunters, including bowhunters, must wear a minimum of 500 square inches of “hunter orange” on their head, chest, and back during shotgun and muzzleloader seasons. Cap and vest will suffice.

Also just be aware that a deer taken by any method during shotgun season must be checked in at a check in station within two days.

And trust me you may lose the deer if you miss that deadline for any reason.
