My suggestion in the other thread was the Marlin 45-70. Short length for easy handling in the alder thickets Jeff described, lever action for perhaps a rapid 2nd shot, an ass kicker out to maybe 100 yards. I'd keep it scopeless. Factory ammo...I'd have to see what's available.

Jeff's hunting days behind him because of changing Wash. State laws...mine because of age & physical limitations. I've started giving my firearms away to select people.
