Q: During the controlled deer hunt in a zone that is open for muzzleloaders and shotguns, can I take a shotgun loaded with buckshot for close stuff and a muzzleloader for long stuff at the same time?
Graeme Green, Woodstock
A: Yes, you may carry as many shotguns and muzzleloaders with you as you can safely handle. The exception to this would be if you are an apprentice or a mentor providing direct and immediate supervision; in these cases, you are restricted to having one firearm between you.
