Probably about 75% of my elk kill s could have been just as easily accomplished with a 44mag.
Since my handgun weighs 4Lbs + though,I'd rather carry the Model 70 at 7.5 lbs and increas my odds. I hunt to fill the freezer and have had ample opportunity to comlete any challenges of other methods of kill in my lifetime.


If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
