Muzzleloader Hunters in WA

So..... Does that mean you can grab your Brown Bess and head out? Not that you could hit anything with it, but would it be legal?

So long as all you are doing is shooting lofted birds - that is, birds in the air, sure. It's an older-style shotgun in that respect. So long as they are not game birds out of season, of course. Verminous birds are vermin all year round, and all you need is a general license nowadays, and, of course, somewhere to shoot. No walking around the countryside blasting away here, y'know - somebody OWNS all of it, of that you can be sure.

Punt guns are STILL used on the Norfolk Wash, Essex marshes and estuarial flats all over UK. Up to 2" calibre muzzleoaders!!!

Apologies to all for thread drift. I'll resplone to Andy by PM.
