[QUOTE="AlongCameJones, post: 3590295, member: 47875"] Muzzle-loaders can be quite dangerous, I've read. Thanks anyway for the suggestion, retrieverman. I will have to spend some time going down the WMA list and the OLAP list to single out the gun/doe/rifle lands then scout those places out over the summer. As a veteran I may have hunting privileges on Fort Sill too. I plan on checking into that also. Why is Oklahoma so restrictive on rifles anyway? Too many hunting "accidents"? To many dammfool people who are beered or boozed up in the field? I have a Mossy 500 12 ga. pump shotgun. Some areas (OLAPs) I've noticed allow shotguns for deer but not rifles.
