First Roe Doe of the season: 45-70

First Roe doe of the season:

Took the Cyber-punk 45-70 Marlin GSBL and grassed a tasty deer (and a fox for good measure.)

First sight of the Roe (in the triangle of green, across the small valley.):



Need to get closer:





Stalked in to 75m:



Watched this male while I waited for a chance to move on the doe:



Job done; she dropped where she stood:



My 45-70 load: 460gr Mjöllnir cast bullet:





It didn't even rain!

Awesome.

I really considered a 45-70 on my recent renewal but went .303 in the end

Tough call . As much as I like the 45/70 , I'd never be without a 303 . Fortunately , I have a few of both ............ sorry , couldn't help it .
