Steve,
The steaks and rolled roasts from my daughters Montana mule deer were as good as venison gets! Our family eats mostly game and very little beef and all love venison. Tonight it was elk chili - must be in a run, same thing as last night.

Nice buck
That is a nice buck you got with that fancy lever action rifle. I guess it shoots that newfangled smokeless powder too? Also a nice setup you have to hang them up but how did that deer squeeze his head under the door?
Had some luck myself last Saturday but I don't have much modern equipment. |

Duckman,
Nice speed goat. I got my one and only one with a muzzleloader some years ago. At one time I hunted only with muzzleloaders but was lured away by the siren call of the new fangled breechloaders. My muzzleloader friends all said I went to the "dark side" to "suppository guns" as they called them. But truth be known I like collect and shoot guns if they are "old" by today's standards. Here's a picture of myself and my older son quite a few years ago with a rifle similar to yours. My rifle is a model 1874 Sharps made in Bridgeport, caliber is 45 2 1/10" aka 45-70. As the saying goes, " if it could only talk". Mine doesn't have one of those glass tube sights like yours but I'm at the point it would make seeing a sight picture much easier.

Nice deer with the M71. I have the same rifle and hope to take a deer with it as well along with a 500 BPE double rifle.
Are you reloading the 348?

Monday starts deer season in Ohio. Trail cameras show several 140+ bucks, plus a nice array of smaller 10 pt bucks that will be hard to pass up should they show themselves on my farm

Yes, I do reload for everything I own including the 348. I've thought about buying a bullet mould for it but I don't shoot it enough to be worth the investment. I see you're planning on hunting deer with a 500 BPE double, that should do it. The British thought the 500 a wonderful Stag rifle. The British BPE doubles are fun to hunt with, I've taken some game with those that I own. Here's a little Mule Deer that I took several years ago with my T. Turner 500-450 BPE.
