Maine is the toughest place I ever hunted, here are some habitat photos, woods are thick with some openings. And I showed the wool, now here is the lever action. Mostly hunt with bolt action carbines now but a Marlin levergun usually gets a walk in the woods at least one day. 4570 or 444? Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

It has a 16.5" barrel and is a dream to carry in the woods..... No scope on it now though.

I've got some good ones from many years ago at our 'Popple Palace'. Paul I'm another non picture poster. Maybe someday, but than I'll have to get a printer/scanner combo because the best photos are in albums and never made it on-line. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears.

Grizzly_Bill Campfire Tracker G Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 3,787 Wisconsin	Originally Posted by tzone Man I need a lever gun! Surprised that you never hunted with a lever, Tom. First year (1971) I started hunting at the deer camp I carried a Win 94 in 30-30 with a peep sight for the first 2 years. My buddy Rick still hunts with a lever, a Marlin 95 in 45-70. The rest of us hunt mainly with bolt actions plus I have the Ruger # 1 that I use a lot. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.

Hunted up there for a few years with a 444 great gun and stopper of deer, the one in the photos is a 308mx. One of the best shootin lever guns I ever had and sold it like an idiot.

The first one was a Marlin 1895 Guide gun in 45-70 with the pistol grip stock. Straight stocks don't fit me well. One was a Win M94 .32 special, and I had a Savage 99 .300 sav for a spell. I didn't even shoot that one before I sold it. Camp is where you make it.

The problem with talking about them is that now...I have a different itch. One I haven't had all year and now I do. I need to go a lookin'. Camp is where you make it.

I'm not sure if it's cuz it's an old grain barn, or from all the malted hops and barley that is consumed in it. Either way, it's a beautiful camp.
