During the 67th Legislative Session, Hinkle brought House Bill 242 that established the muzzleloader season. Before its passage, Montana was the last state to not have a special season set aside for muzzleloaders. 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]
