coyotes racoons possums skunks beavers bobcats just about any small game
Cody, you forgot weasles, mice,toads and snails.
You guys all forgot wild cats....:)
anything that breaths within 100 yards.
in the south they are mostly used on bears but folks use them for moose and other big game.
You guy's are KILLIN' ME ! (lol).
To answer your question rabbitpolice is "on" here.
The .45/70 is mostly used for deer,bears and hogs, but it was THE buffalo gun of choice for most of the "mountain men" of that era.
i think they over looked elephants and water buffalo!
I've heard they are best suited for close range on big game. Bear from a tree stand or if you're walking through the bush.

Anything you want a Bang, Flop.
The African Big Five. It's been done. So everything. And past 100 yards. Not that you should be shooting past 100 on the big 5, but I wouldn't think twice about taking an elk at 200, or even more with the newer loads in the right rifle.
The good old 45-70 is a whooper that can handle any animal on the North American Continent for sure. Although it is thought of as a timber rifle for big critters like bear and moose, it is pretty effective out over 200 yards for just about anything. Its speed is a little slow coming in around 2,000 fps but it packs a when you hit something with it.
