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.

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.
