Down here in Louisiana these days you see a ton of single shot 35 Whelens (usually CVA's or Encore's) among the public land hunters because they can be used for both "primitive weapons" and rifle season. When they originally allowed single shot breach loaders, 45-70's and 444 Marlin's were very popular but the average hunter now is usually going with the 35W after the regs were expanded to allow 35 caliber and larger.
