When does black powder begin?

[jlfree25]

I was wondering when black powder season begins? I have been sitting here the last couple nights and heard someone shooting black powder but I didn't think that the season had started.

blackpowder starts this thurday. you are probable hearing someone sighting in their gun in prep for the big day. Or they are squirrel hunting.

I have one that is a 25 cal... just right for those furry rats.

Gotcha. Didn't realize they come in a small(er) caliber like that.

You can get a muzzle-loading shotgun too, I think CVA has a model.

I have a .32 cal Traditions rifle with a scope that I use for tree rats, that's a lot of fun right there.
