Setting Trail Cams & Shootin my 45-70

Just a quick video setting some trail cams in region 8. I also shoot my new 45-70 for the first time!

[@davidgrgic]

Love seeing high quality local videos. Thanks for helping me get into hunting here

Hey, right on! We are lucky to live in BC. Pristine wilderness all around.

[@Kamon67]

Glad I found this channel as Im new in BC and new to hunt in this beautiful part of the country. Im on the island but plan a hunt trip in the lower mainland Mule deer in November. Do you have any videos about MD in LM I can check ?

[@skyedge6158]

Hey cool. Yes, I've got a couple vids where I am successful on mulies, and many where I am not ! You should make that trip in November, but also have a look around the island for deer too!! U may not have to travel too far to get on some deer or bears. Good luck !

[@Kamon67]

@@skyedge6158 thanks and yes, I will explore the island but right now I have someone in the region 2 who will guide me which is important when you start hunting the stop and stalking type of hunt. I always been in a tree stand looking at the apples back in Ontario and Quebec.

Cool video bro. Maybe practice keeping the rifle shouldered as you work the action.. quicker follow up shots if needed… keeping sights on target the whole time. Love my old Marlin 45-70.

[@skyedge6158]

Good call. The action was quite stiff as it had not been worked in yet. She's a little smoother now.

Did you get any Draws this year? Can't wait for the new content! Good luck on the hunts!

[@skyedge6158]

Unfortunately no draws. That makes 6 years running.. oh well, maybe next time ! Thanks for following along

[@OutdoorsDadBC]

I am a firm believer in doing what works for you will work best. Good luck this season. Maybe see ya out there

[@davidtougas3101]

relocating from Ontario to bc (region 8) in the next two weeks and cant wait to get out there!!! This is a total game changer to hunt in the mountains and finding more and more that your hunts are making that so clear haha.. Would love to join you for a scout or two... Looks like alot of fun. Good luck this year!

[@thomaslawson177]

The countdown is on!! Cant wait to get out of the LM for opening weekend

[@thewanderingbard8455]

Cool gun! Lever actions are underrated. Excited to see what’s on the cams.

[@chrisrogers4594]

That little chiappa looks like a blast. Have you thought about fitting it with a red dot or a low power optic?

[@skyedge6158]

Yes, so much fun. I am considering the red dot but it does come with a nice peep sight and fiber optic. I just need some practice !

[@chrisrogers4594]

@@skyedge6158 OK, a peep sight's not too bad. Come to think of it, I handled that same rifle I think at Wanstalls in Maple Ridge a few months ago and I remember the peep/fibre front sight now.

[@Fueledbythewild]

Ticks are nasty buddy and they definitely play with the mind. Seem to be getting worse every year up here in the okanagan. Sure youll get lots a kewl footage to get you excited for the hunt. Looking forward to what's to come!🤟🍻😎

[@lucasbadalucco1900]

That thing looks fun

[@dysonadams8469]

Can’t wait for your first hunting video 👍

[@johnathonbraun341]

Someone doesn't skip leg day lol

[@skyedge6158]

You can't !

[@alo6512]

Nice video all ready to go👍 Where did you get your 45-70 Like it a lot. Short and easy to handle in the bush eh!!

[@skyedge6158]

Yeah, it's a great gun to handle ! I purchased it from Italian Sporting Goods in Vancouver. Good store

[@quadzotikz81crew59]

Is that gona b the hun of choice for your hike in trip coming up? If so why not the Tikka I was recently talked out of that exact same gun last week from the guy at cabelas let me know your thoughts also love the vids bruh it’s very helpful for a greenie like myself lol!!!

[@skyedge6158]

Tikka is an excellent gun. I've harvested many good animals with my .308. I'm taking the 45-70 for close range shots in the brush. Also just to switch things up and have some fun. Thanks for watching the vids

[@apfelcake4528]

never got a chance to do trail cams because of the fires. finally got out with my dad last weekend tho! that 45-70 looks rad what make is it?

[@skyedge6158]

Chiappa

[@joesimpson2788]
