Black powder season starts in the northwestern part of North Carolina on November 9th. That is when it becomes legal for deer hunter to use black powder rifles to hunt. When hunting with black powder rifles ( muzzle loaders) you usually only get one shot. Hunters usually carry a reload bag with them because of this. Muzzle loaders are fairly difficult to load so your shot will not be quick. You have to measure your power (charge) place your wad and then set your round on top of that and use your ramrod to pack it all down. After all that you then prim your rifle and your ready to fire.
