SO, if lead shot is taken out of the question by using a lead free round, can the muzzle loader be present? Example of round used: From, TOMBOB Outdoors LLC

In the scenario that you are describing a muzzleloader can be used to waterfowl hunt as long as you are using non-toxic approved shot. However, the original question was that he wanted to take the muzzleloader for deer hunting while waterfowl hunting. If there is a non-toxic bullet or projectile that meets the deer hunting requirements as far as caliber, then it would also be legal. I am not aware of a 50 caliber non-toxic projectile. If I am still misunderstanding the question or the original question, please let me know and I will research the topic further.
