No muzzleloader season in Montana. There are a few areas that are restricted to muzzleloader, traditional handgun or archery. They are mostly management areas with homes nearby. Other than that I just choose to hunt with traditional muzzleloaders in general rifle season.

I do have two muzzleloading handguns. One is a .32 and the other is a .54 cal. I've used both for small game including grouse, cottontail and snowshoe hare. The .54 has enough power and accuracy for deer but I have never tried taking one with it.
