Good afternoon to all. Posting for a friend that just ordered a muzzleloader from cabelas with a scope & from my understanding the only time you are able to use a muzzleloader with a scope during deer season in D 16 is if your are a disabled hunter. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you & enjoy the rain.
muzzle loader with scope

I usually draw an M6 tag for SD county and you are not allowed to use a scope on your gun during it. As far as the general season buck tag goes, D16, I believe it is fine.
Check the DFW regs......Pretty clear you can Not use a scope on a muzzle loader unless you're almost blind.

If he's hunting with a D16 tag he's fine, if he's hunting with an M6 tag he has to ditch the scope.
