Who's interested in a black powder ERA hunt?

[EDELWEISS]

Some of our brothers in South Afrika get together every year for a black powder era hunt. I drool over the pics every time I log on to the forum. So the thought occurred to me maybe we could start one here in the US. Im in Maryland and I do a lot of hunting in NW Pennsylvania. There are some good public grounds there. Im not sure about camping; but Im guessing its OK(?).

My idea would be for a few guys who'd like to do some hunting/camping with period "looking" gear/weapons.

Whos interested?

Im open to suggestions....

Posted this is the other "period" thread....

I know 2 guys who hunt the Catskills in early 1800's style and belong to NY State Muzzleloaders. They also do a rendezvous where I think they get upwards of 50 folks to show up mid October.

Beautiful part of NY State in the Moose River Plains area.

This is an old thread but I have to respond black powder is my favorite hunting. My dad makes rifles and period correct powder horns.
We have a small 10-12 guys who drive beer after Christmas we scare a lot of deer kill a few I have harvested 9 in my career and sometimes use my .54 cal pa long rifle in regular fire arms season.

Driving beer doesn't sound as hard as driving deer... but it does sound a lot more refreshing....
