Yea Ron, when we teach our Hunter Ed class I'm the one that does the teaching for both archery and muzzleloading.
I usually get a laugh from the students because I try to lighten the mood before I get serious on the dangers of black powder and subs. I have a "dummy" muzzleloader and my possibles bag when I get in front of the class.
I begin my stating all the necessary items you need for muzzleloader hunting and proceed to empty my possibles bag. I usually have a few candy bars I pull out first, then some jerky and always, as I say the most important item, a small roll of toilet paper! I emphasize never go hunting without it! This usually gets a chuckle from the class.

I actually go over muzzleloaders in my Hunters Ed that I teach. It is not required for a teacher to provide though. I would be glad to help you. I'm in the Twin Falls area. After hunting season is over if you are willing to make the drive I would be glad to take you to the range with my rifles and let you test them and see what you like and answer any questions you might have.
duck and goose, which is my primary hunting target, ends sometime in January I think. I’ll have to check.

thank you for being willing to help. I sent you several PMs already. Let me know when you’re hunting season is over, and I will see if I can make the trip. Fortunately, it’s two hours for me.
