The Last Buffalo Hunter

[@mr.lineman4428]

I always enjoy your videos. It's something I look forward to in this world that's fallen. Thank you

[@silasmcgarrah4796]

It’s hard to make a living on hunting these days and that makes me incredibly sad. Thanks for making this. It’s awesome

[@grahambamford9073]

The report and thump of that Sharpes is awesome.....

[@virgil6206]

Incredible video, so glad you’re keeping the western content alive.

[@TUCOtheratt]

More to come! Thanks!

[@blueghost5344]

I ran into this channel while looking up How To videos for RDR2 and ended up having to pause my game to keep watching!

[@TUCOtheratt]

Ha Ha! Thanks!

Actually the trajectory of most black powder cartridges is around 30 feet at one thousand yards. Some 50 caliber rifles and say the 45/110 cartridge used between 110 - 120 grains of black powder depending upon the bullet weight and seating depth in said cartridge case. Bullets ranged from 500 to over 650 grains. The paper patched bullet loads could hold more powder since they were seated out further in the cases. I have been shooting these Sharps black powder rifles for close to twenty years. I own two very nice Shiloh Sharps, a Hartford model, and a Montanna rifle plus my first Italian made Quigley model all in 45/70. All outfitted with Montanna Precision vernier sights. All are capable of near minute of angle groups, provided I do my part. They are my pride possessions. Nice video, I enjoyed it very much.

[@TUCOtheratt]

I was going off rough memory from 15 years ago for 45/70 1200 fps at muzzle. I am not surprised that I was way off, thanks for clarifying.

I can hear the joy when you said "got it !" Shiloh cattledog is my backyard BB target spotter...sometimes

[@4440Winchester]

Cool video. Awesome cinematography and shooting as always!

[@MarcoFanciulli]

Nice video, nice clothing, nice places and good shots. Great Tuco shots. What caliber is your Sharps?

[@TUCOtheratt]

It's 45-70 caliber. Thanks for watching. Next time I'll work out the long range hits

[@MarcoFanciulli]

@@TUCOtheratt At what distance did you shoot?

[@TUCOtheratt]

@@MarcoFanciulli the misses at long range were 540 yards. The hits at a closer range we're at 180 yards

[@MarcoFanciulli]

@@TUCOtheratt Beautiful challenging distances.

Great video. Why aren't you in westerns?

Great video intro, great shooting! You are living the dream.

Thanks for the nice comment. 😃

I read your comment below....here I was gonna ask you to try the Billy Dixon shot at Adobe Walls...

[@dflies102]

You reside in a place of my dreams. You can enjoy what life was and still remains. Nice shooting too.

You have beautiful land shot in too!!

[@jackwinklebock8560]

Thank you for sharing the fun. 👍🏼

[@tylertapp131]

God I love the sound of that thunder comin from that sharps. I'd love to have one.

[@TUCOtheratt]

Oh Ya ...Thanks for watching!

[@normanbraslow7902]

Spend the money and get a C. Christian or Shiloh Sharps. Not the Italian second rate guns. They did NOT shoot bison at much over 200 yards. Would wound too many animals. Target shooting, well over 1,000 yards. At 150 yards, a fully loaded .45-110 is very flat. Almost point blank.

[@A.R.American1]

How did i miss this video love it

[@MisterRedBlueBlur]

@ 1:08 Something triggered me about that scene, when you blew out that match. Now I know. 😁 It's the same place in the melody "The Ecstasy of Gold", where Tuco throws the map away, before he starts running, to find the grave of Arch Stanton. 🙂 Was that on purpose?

[@TUCOtheratt]

It's interesting that you noticed that. Actually I figured out that that would just be kind of cool to blow out the match study the smoke drift and then look into the distance. I was thinking originally that it was the Buffalo Hunter judging the wind for the shot. But it could also be the moment he realizes there's no more Buffalo to hunt. I placed it there just because the music changes in a dramatic way and it's a perfect place

[@JamesJohnson-hl9pk]

I hunt deer and elk like Davey Crockett and Daniel Boone.Asome blasting Tuco Black powder is nothing to sneeze at,what caliber is your sharps rifle.

[@TUCOtheratt]

45-70

[@JamesJohnson-hl9pk]

Is she a Shiloh sharps or a C- Sharps.

[@TUCOtheratt]

@@JamesJohnson-hl9pk Pedersoli

[@johnh4957]

I've heard of this mythical Steel Beast you talk about, you have to be careful and keep downwind, if wind changes direction and it becomes aware of you it can bounce back and hit you with your own lead!

[@TUCOtheratt]

Ha Ha. You know something interesting. If you watch close there was an antelope way down range that runs across the screen for one of the shots I didn't notice it till I got home and watched the video.

[@bi87wsyc]

@@TUCOtherattI thought I saw something moving in the bottom of the valley at 2:13. Thought it was a car but I know you are more careful than that. Old video but glad it came up. Love the Sharps.

[@mikeclay2381]

First time seeing this video, it great ! Watching that sharps thumping on your shoulder, I understand why y had to have surgery on it .

[@SavageMcBeastdog]

Great video

[@TUCOtheratt]

Thanks!

[@paulbettes5307]

I like shooting my rolling block Remington. I use to shoot in an area like you are in.

[@TUCOtheratt]

Cool man!

[@bowiebowie8171]

One thing about it is when you were firing that rifle when I was watching you didn't have your elevation set right and on top of that I would have used a a method that I know that would help me when I'm getting ready to shoot a long-range target I would look at trees or the blades of grass and see which way the wind's blowing Left or right and if the wind's blowing from the right you and everything at bullets getting a blow go right into it and I hang off to the right because that bullet's going to drift that wind's blowing pretty good instead of aiming the right where you're thinking you're going to aim you go to the left side of your target because if you aim to the to the same direction as the right your bullet's going to go completely way off the target so you aim at the left side of it and that wind will drift it right into where you need to be you did pretty good for what you're doing you just need a little bit more practice

[@TUCOtheratt]

Ya, I'm no Quigley. Ha Ha. If I stayed with this I would get it down. Thanks for watching 😀

[@bowiebowie8171]

@@TUCOtheratt I was just giving you some good old-fashioned long range rifle tips You're teaching me how to do things with a revolver I was never taught with a revolver on anything The only right gun that I ever had in my hand was a rifle I can cut a match with a BB gun if you can cut a match with a BB gun you can do anything with a rifle

[@loganloftin8929]

[@whitneyallen9237]

I don’t believe those fingerless gloves are period correct. 😜

[@Bricked_up87]

Probable, but any dude with a knife can fingerless his gloves.🤔

[@soylentgreen7074]

There have been fingerless gloves for centuries. Including during the American revolution.

[@normanbraslow7902]

He is using one of the poor quality Italian "Sharps". Not worth the money.

[@JamesClark-lw6sw]

WRONG. First off, there are at least three Italian firms that have made 1874 Sharps replicas. The best is Pedersoli- which is what Tuco is shooting in the video. The Pedersoli made Sharps are AT LEAST as good as a Shiloh or a C Sharps in terms of metalurgy and barrel quality. Where the Italian guns fall down is authentcty of styking and fit and finish . In that regard the US made guns are better.
