I hunt in WMA's here in Louisiana where the general rule is that the last man who pulls the trigger on the deer gets it. If I shoot a deer and it runs off and someone else gets a shot at it he can claim it as his own. This happened a few years ago and the game warden awarded the deer to the man who shot last. Even though the deer only had one hole in it. So if I can shoot something that will give me a better chance at "BANG FLOP" then that's what I'm gonna use. I've been thinking about the 45-70 in a Marlin 1895G, but haven't bought it yet. Have to try to convince my wife I need another rifle. Right now she thinks the 3 high power rifles I have are enough.
