This is a noob hunting question. Back east in NC I was able to hunt deer with a black powder .50 cal rifle and a 12 gauge shot gun with 1-ounce slugs. Can you do that here in Colorado?
Are there special dates or restrictions on certain categories of game for black powder or slugs?
Thanks
If I remember correctly, and I could be wrong here it's been a while since I hunted big game in CO, Saboted black powder rounds are not legal to use. I think a shotgun slug is categorized as a rifle round so falls in rifle hunting.
No sabots, no scopes, no electronic ignition, on BP.
Shotguns legal.
Elk laugh at shotgun toters and stay just outa range of them....

just stop by wal-mart and pick up a big game hunting manual and everything is listed in there.
know all the laws. there are point restrictions as well for elk depending on the unit.
Thank you very much for the great info.
