Grant the fish and wildlife commission authority to set muzzleloader season

SB 403 would have granted Montana's Fish and Wildlife Commission the authority to set the specific dates and duration for the state's annual muzzleloader heritage hunting season, replacing a previously fixed schedule. This change would directly affect hunters using traditional muzzleloading rifles for deer and elk during this designated season. The bill would have allowed the Commission to adjust the season dates and length based on wildlife management needs, rather than requiring it to follow a fixed timeline (e.g., "second Saturday after regular season for 9 days"). The season itself would have permitted hunting deer or elk with muzzleloaders using specific ammunition and firearm types, as defined by existing regulations.
