Hey Martin, welcome to the site. You will find this place a lot more civilized than some others regarding the 45-70.

Not less opinionated, just more civilized.

Never Hunt With A Cartridge Younger Than You Are

Thank's for the Welcome

May i ask ? what is it that you most often use to hunt with
other then like so many say the mind what type of rifle and what cal/ Hope you don't mind me prying.

Thanks again for the welcome to the board .

Just a note about what i drag out on to the field
I hunt in " Very " heavy cover thick brush and i at one time used a s/s 10 Gauge when i lived in alaska i have since change over to the 47/70 GS When i hunt in the more open places on the ranch i use the 9.3x64 butthere are no real big game other then the Elk and Deer. i do one the other hand use the 45/70 to hunt the brush on the ranch
for Couger and for that i use my own bullets thin walls on the jackets and a very deap hollow cavity i want them dead.
Its a pain in the hind end to try and go after anything in the brush last time out i was walking up the side of the cliff and three young cougers popped out not more then 3 feet in front on me i went back down that cliff on my butt
i went one way the rifle went the other if it hadn't of happened to me it would have been funny.
Thats the number one reason i carry the short barrel rifle
if it would have been a mature couger well chances are i would have got a shot off but i would have still been on my behind sliding down that slipper slop going end over end .

Anyway ...Sorry about the rampling on guy and thanks for the welcome to the board
Martin
