I have my eye on four bucks this year.  Hopefully one of them will be introduced to my Marlin .45-70 Guide gun.

.615 (20 gauge), Accutip slug.

Now I want to start referring to my 20 gauge as my 61 caliber.  :chuckle:

I stopped bringing a rifle blacktail hunting, I trimmed out my pack and got rid of all the unnecessary stuff.

Model 7600 in 30-06 topped with a Nikon 4-12x40 that never seems to get moved off of five power.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

In November U.S. manufacturing contracted for the the ninth consecutive month. Layoffs across the economy are higher than anytime since the pandemic in 2020 and I just read that the Midwest farmers will be receiving a 12B bailout due to 50 year trade relationships being destroyed. I have to admit that I was a sceptic and didn't believe in the effectiveness in tariffs but I'm a believer now.

270 win in Rem 700 stainless synthetic, Timney trigger set at 3.5lbs and a Burris Euro diamond 3-10.  Ya sometimes you could use the 30-30 at 40 yards in the timber but sometimes you need to make the 400 yard shot in the clear cut. It has treated me well.
