IF you can take a shot and PLACE IT correctly, then consider it.
If in heavy brush/tag alder, DON'T.

Use the commercial 110 gr hp ammo from Winchester or Federal.

[Think S&B makes some, not sure.]

Smooth / polish the feed ramp of Carbine to minimize stutterring of the soft-nose ammo.

Know two others that use the Carbine, one from tree stand took two deer,
another used for Wisconsin deer drive.

What 's the .35Rem., a lever action?? you can quickly mount a scope if a 336, if a 94 then not so quickly. Or consider a rear peap sight like the Williams "Fool-proof" or 5D.

Good luck, chose wisely.
