Muzzleloaders

[Duckhunter3000]

Hello everyone, it’s been awhile since I joined the forum, I was wondering if hunting with muzzleloaders is possible in Africa? If I were to keep it specific I would like to focus more on Namibia because thats one of my goals in the future. Just thought I should ask out of curiosity, and to learn.

Hunting Africa with a muzzleloader is doable. But you will need to verify the country you want to hunt allows hunting with a muzzleloader and what calibers are legal, then coordinate with your outfitter on obtaining black powder and caps prior to your arrival.

NOTE: Airlines will not allow the transport of BP and caps. And it is illegal for individuals to import BP into some if not all African countries.

Thanks for letting me know, I will definitely take more time to research this.

It may be possible with a smokeless powder muzzleloader.
