Contemplating a move.  Was looking at their regs book.  WOW!  My question is...is a T/C Black Diamond a leagal weapon there?  Can sabots be shot with the right bullet?  Thanx in advance.

Yes on the BD and sabots, just no jacketed bullets or 209 primers, #11 or musket caps only. No glass sights unless you're visually impaired and get the permit for a scope.  I have two BDs, they work well. I use RWS flangeless musket caps with a short piece of surgical tubing over part of the cap where it joins the musket nipple for a water tight seal.

 Thanx Tim, my BD was a tack driver and I wouldn't hesitate to get another one if needed...just so dirty.  The musket caps actually singed my left thumb sometimes  .

Another question, Tim...can you use a scoped Omega during the regular rifle season?  Thanx in advance

I've hunted with a flintlock for several years during the modern season just because Washington's ML seasons stink for the most part. The scoped Omega would be fine even tho scopes and enclosed ignition would make it illegal for the ML seasons.

Thanx again, Tim.  Maybe when I get there, I'll IM you and you can help me get pointed in the right direction.  I hunted Columbian Blacktails when I was a kid with out much success.  Been an avid whitetail hunter since I moved to Ohio 31 years ago.  Successful enough, but no Booner's  (have missed 2  ).  Thanks for taking the time to fill me in...
