No it isn't. Muzzleloader is a separate season (deer) There are three deer seasons in CT: Archery Muzzle Loader Firearm* * in firearm season, you need your hunting license and deer permit. You must use either a 12, 16 or 20 guage shotgun plugged to hold no more than three rounds total (chamber and magazine). This is for state land. Ammunition must be a single slug (soft, single, alloy projectile either lead or saboted). No buckshot for deer in CT On private land of more than 10 acres - with the proper permit - a center fire rifle may be used during firearm season. The rifle must be .243 or 6mm (or larger caliber) |
