[QUOTE="vedauvoo, post: 2548362, member: 47024"] My first black powder elk was taken in Colorado 20 years ago. I used a Hawkins .54 caliber with a miniball and of course, iron sights. The ignition was with a small percussion cap placed over the nipple on the side of the chamber. That hunt stands out as one of my most enjoyable and rewarding hunts. So I am ambivalent about modern in-line vs traditional black powder rifles for hunting. Utah is quite liberal in allowing in-line rifles with scope sights. I suspect there may be a move in the near future to impose restrictions like Colorado and Montana and re-create the intent of making it a primitive hunt opportunity. I'm betting you find an affordable combination that works for you and is legal where you plan on hunting. It is great fun! Lots of helpful expertise here at LRH as well. [/QUOTE]
