Ohio has finally "got with the program" and will be allowing use of 444 Marlin or 45/70 Government for whitetail deer hunting next season. I am not real familiar with these cartridges. The idea of hunting whitetail with these does intrigue me. Anyone have any experience on one over the other? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanking you in advance...Roger

PS...I realize these are not cartridges used in S&W's, but I would appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks!
