removeing the primer safe and legal
correct I hunt with a flinter and as long as the primer charge is removed from the pan it is not loaded,I also install a flint stall(leather over the frizzen) and also run a cloth patch on a jag on the ramrod overnight so no moisture get down the barrel.
I may head up for the late m/l season but have to find out if you can take a doe with the m/l stamp on a regular big game lic: I think you can???
