Gotta blood the CVA Scout in 444 Marlin that I picked up last spring. Only had it out a couple times this past season and I almost, but not quite, got a buck with it. In the woods, wet leaves, and he snuck in on me from my right side and I never heard him coming in. Then he winded me and took off like a rocket. The Scout will be at the top of the list for deer season '24, as I have to redeem myself.
