I‘m going to W. Tennessee next week for a 3-day duck hunt at Reelfoot Lake. Last week of the season. I had one guy cancel for medical reasons so we have an opening. Ping me if interested. These are the guys we’re going with:

Not to hijack the thread, but I have fallen in love with the Firedot! I have it on my new VX-5HD 1-5x24 and it’s amazing. I wish I would have got it on my VX-5HD 3-15x44. I went with the HTMR reticle but wish I got the Firedot. I’ll be getting the same scope but with the Firedot.
I just spoke with Leupold about this, and they said that it would be no problem putting this on the 45-70. Thank you again for thinking about that question.
OK, so I downloaded the INSTRUCTION MANUAL, and spent the evening going through it. I've got it set up now, and have a basic understanding of what I'm doing. Tomorrow I'll go outside and make sure my distances are calibrated. I understand what the ballistics stuff is doing, but the reality is...
So if you're familiar with the Leupold CDS system, you can send them your caliber, bullet velocity, and bullet weight and they will send you a cap that goes on your scope. This cap is calibrated based on that input, so when you zero your scope at 100 yards, if you have a 400 yard shot, you...
I've been thinking of putting one of these on my Henry lever 45-70. My only problem with it is that it's built-in ballistics is for the .223 and they don't make custom dials for it like the CDS scopes.

Do yourself a favor and look at the Horn Hunter packs. Then call the owner (John) and tell him what you’re looking for and your dimensions and he’ll get you all set up.

I have the Horn Hunter Full Curl system. Under $400 for the full system. I spoke with John on...
Take a look at putting a muzzle brake on it to tame that recoil. I had shoulder surgery a year ago and even my 30-06 kicked too hard for me. I put a muzzle brake on it and it now recoils like a .22.
My Henry 45-70 is at the smith now having one installed. It makes shooting fun again.
I also like the N-1B canvas mukluks with the felt inserts. They kept my feet really warm and were super lightweight. For Survival School I didn't have a choice; we had to wear the bunny boots. If I had my choice, I'd have taken these with me.
That's not a bad idea. I'll have to check around and see. I'm sure there's one in the area. Don't know how he'll feel about me not buying it from him though....
