Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Evil Twin - I've HAD IT with you!!

I think I'd have to buy another freezer if I smoke a buffler. Unless of course a herd of people help me eat it.

Indeed, Patrick! There' a powerful bunch of meat on a buffler, even a 2-1/2 year old heifer such as I shot (as did JorgeI and EvilTwin on that hunt). It helps to have protein-hungry relatives who love to eat buffler to take some of it off your hands.

I wa eyeballing a beautiful Dakota mini-Sharps in 38-55 at a gunshow in Spokane a couple of weeks ago. The guy wanted $3500 for it and it had stunning wood rarely seen on Dakota's these days.

Doc and I were ogling drooling on a similar gun at Dakota's booth, at DSC. It was plum purty

The Italian mini-Sharps are pretty funky, but Dakota's is very well done. And cost 3x-4x as much. I've got two .45-90's, which are fine for bigger stuff, but I would at some point like to add a .38-55 or .40 cal BPCR, maybe a lighter style rifle, too.

I also have a couple of .25-20's, which I could use on deer, too...

My Sharps is in 45-70. The little one only weights about 12 lbs.
I bought it to hunt with some, so a deer will go down in Nov. with mine. Yes, Pat I don't have your stock so it's a user.
