The big compressed air, heavy-caliber air rifles have been included in the special muzzleloader season for deer hunting this year.

They were in there last year. 30 caliber or larger.

Thanks, BC. Didn't realize they were in the MZ season-week last year.
West Virginia added a true "traditional" season this year, to be held in January only for flintlock or caplock percussion rifles (no optics) and long bows or recurves (no compounds, crossbows, etc.)

Wheeler Wildlife Refuge has a flintlock / primitive hunt every January. Me and a buddy watched a boatload of guys run a huge 140-150 class buck off of an island up there two years ago. We were bow hunting by the main river and there was a slough behind us with a chain of islands out in it. They were dropping a guy off at the end of the island with a flintlock and then motoring to the other side and getting out and walking the island. Totally illegal. That old buck got up and walked across that slough about 100 yards from us because he could hear them coming. They were making all kinds of racket.

What made it illegal, the fact they did it on an island ?

Wow that is truly incredulous and a mockery of a primitive season. Alabama's muzzleloader season isn't really a true primitive season since it allows in-line rifles with scopes. Those are basically just single-shot centerfire rifles. I've always wanted to do the Wheeler NWR flintlock season and just never have. Finding powder is the biggest problem, or has been for me.

Didn't know that. Thanks. It's unclear that they're wholly separate in the 2018 regulation book where they're listed together:
ALL ZONES
SPECIAL MUZZLELOADER AND AIR RIFLE
Nov. 12-16

That's amazing! Learn something new every day. I had no idea air rifles went back that far.

Wow that is truly incredulous and a mockery of a primitive season. Pffft I wish we could hunt with a single shot 45/70
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

Cool. Never heard of that old air rifle The Girandoni air rifle was used by Lewis and Clark in part to scare the Indians. https://www.grandviewoutdoors.com/guns/the-gun-that-actually-won-the-west-might-surprise-you/I'd like to hunt with one just to say I did and satisfy my curiosity, but I don't think I'd invest in the gun, tank and such.
