with your season maybe approaching , is there anyone out there who is willing to document a hunt with their favoured Lever gun cartridge ?
there really isn't too much good documented lever gun hunting, even on youtube it is limited.. I have been thinking of filming a few hunts with a lever gun on Sambar deer, hoping to get 10 minutes or so including a shot on film, certainly some photos and a report.


theres a sense of challenge with open sights and 'limited' calibres, so to speak..

info of the gun, load, the species you are hunting etc..


Is anyone with me?

My annual November Haida Gwaii deer hunt mite be fun
I have a 44 mag Rossi mares leg with the full butt stock perfect for the fast action of the rut
I slicked up the action My self and adjusted the trigger it's wicked rifle now

Depending on work of course

I drew three Mule Deer tags for the upcoming season. Any time I hunt anything larger than a coyote my hunts are always lever gun hunts as I only own 1 centrefire larger than a .223 and thats the Winchester Model 71 .348 my Grandfather passed down to me. I'll probably do my best to try to film filling out my Mule Deer buck tag but no promises. As for open sights? Sorry but can't see well enough any longer for that so there is a Leupold 3-9 x40 on a side mount on the old girl. My Grandfather mounted a scope on her in '61 and used it that way all throughout his hunting days. Ammo will be factory Winchester Western( old yellow box) 200 grain silvertips as that's all I have and I don't load my own. I have 11 boxes of factory loads. Should last me the rest of my hunting days as I hunt big game very infrequently.

Well..... That's about the fuddliest description of a hunt I have ever heard..... well done..... lol
 
Hunting with a classic rifle, in a classic stock will be good memories. I hoping to get out with my Winchester 1895 in 30-40 Krag using a Marbles peep.
 
My wife uses a Winchester .375 with irons in her deer blind. I doubt you could convince her to be bothered to film it though
 
Two mule deer tags and whitetail.
This year the Miroku/Winchester's are coming out.
1892 in 44/40 for the antlerless mule deer, 94 in 30/30 for a mule deer buck, and a 30/40 Krag for whitetail

I carry my marlin 1895 in 45-70 most of the year. I bring out the tikka t3 in 6.5x55 if hunting season is running out before the freezer is full. Most of my shots with either are 30-60 yards though.

Holy coincidence Batman. I tend to carry my .45-70 most of the time, and since I hunt away from home I bring a second rifle just in case...normally a T3 in 6.5X55, although mine is a lefty. And shot distances tend to be what you experience as well.

No promises, but maybe I'll be able to get something on film this year.
