The best part of hunting season is when it is over and we go rabbit hunting...

Shrap, are you trying to disguise that Marlin in order post on the Winchester kill page?

The other gun is a Winchester, or didn't you notice. Owning a Marlin and driving a Dodge truck have led me to wear a brown paper bag over my head more than once...

Well, I'll admit to ownin' a Marlin or two, but not a Dodge truck! And yes, I did notice the '73, that sure is a beauty!!

The 61' fwt 270 and I found this boy early this morning. Two more doe tags will keep her out of the safe for a while yet.

Nothing spectacular here but I pulled my very first deer rifle out of moth balls and decided to hunt it some this year. It's a model 70 Westerner .243 that I got for Christmas in 1982. These days I usually reach for something more exotic, but the .243 reminded me it hadn't killed a deer in about 15 years, so I've carried it some and shot this fat doe this evening at about 170 yards at last light with some 20+ year old PMC 100 gr SP factory ammo. I won't wait another 15 years to shoot another with it...

Claybird shooting practise came in handy with my well used pre64 30-06 and this pig last night. Burst out the scrub at full noise only 20 yards away, didn't have time to use the scope and just eyeballed the shoulder down the barrel. The finishing shot exited down the snout. Christmas pork is sorted!

Nice job FRST, thanks for contributing a Winchester kill from New Zealand to the mix.
