1st bear for gutpile! WooHoo!

[Sideswipe]

Nice! Gutpile (gotta love the user name).  Well, there's no turning back now.  First you pray if you could only get one-then after you connect you're hooked & can't wait 'til next year.

How could you not get one? Up close & personal, a Marlin, & in WA-don't get any better than that. 

Watch out, bear sausage will spoil your appetite for venison sausage.  I just bought a smoker!!!

Really enjoyed your post!

Congrats on the bear. Who is doing the rug?

Fuson's out of Suncrest. Darin did my Bobcat a few years back. I really like the guy.

That's what Darin the Taxidermist says. Now I can't stand the wait. "pick up some rolls & sourkraut honey, pops wants some Bratwurst"!!!!

those  new lever loads are pretty neat stuff. pal has the 95 guide gun and he has been shooting those with the same intent as you. i really dig the rifle.. again,, nice

[Gutpile]

I looked at the guide gun but it fit me differently so I went with the standard length. The thing really feels good and points naturally. My first lever gun though, I pinched my trigger finger and cut it.

[MountainWalk]

the guide gun lever is a little small for my hands. i have tiny tiny wrist and hands the size of a nba player. when i shoot it i can only fit two fingers in there comfortably.

the g/f shot the plain winchester loads and said it was nice,, i slipped in a few of the new hornadays and those got here attention real quick. she did not like it.
