Need some advice
Hi everyone, I have an interesting situation. I just got off the phone with Idaho fish and game, and it turns out that in a general any weapons hunt, which is for black bear that I am planning this spring, The only regulation for muzzleloaders is it had to be 50 caliber.
if I was doing a muzzleloader only hunt, a lot more restrictions would be in place.
The other thing is, I have two friends from Japan coming in summer. They want to try and to see how Americans shoot guns.
I was thinking that I could get a flintlock, to teach them the history of American guns. I was also thinking of using it during the bear season, but I don’t know if this is advisable.
Here’s where I need advice. For teaching about the history of American firearms and for a black bear hunt in a general any weapons season, will a flintlock be a good idea? If not, what’s a good recommendation on a muzzleloader?
Just so you all know, it has to be 50 caliber in my state for black bear.
Any help will be appreciated, Jared
