You black powder guys are awful. It took almost a year to finally convince myself I need to sell all my black powder stuff (it accumulates) and now after reading this darn thread I'm thinking no and instead I'll take one on a quick quail hunt before the end of the season. Also used to enjoy turkey hunting with blackpowder...except when there's a drought and after you shoot you have to scramble to stomp out the burning leaves between you and the flopping Tom! And another thing- once you get used to the smell of burnt black powder you just don't appreciate the rancid smell of burnt smokeless powder- kind of like enjoying the smell of the exhaust of an old internal combustion engine using real gasoline compared to modern unleaded....
