Muzzleloader Hunting Season
[edit]During the 67th Legislative Session, Hinkle brought House Bill 242 that established the muzzleloader season.

The Republican traced the idea to his fascination with history and his father introducing him to movies depicting the use of muzzleloaders during the Civil War and by early fur trappers.[6]
