I have been tired of being cooped up in the house for the past 3+ weeks and finally took a drive east to prairie dog pastures and shot some prairie dogs and found a couple bunnies too. I love shooting these old guns, a Marlin in a very scarce model 1888 38-40 and a Colt Bisley in 38-40... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/FyjHwe3.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/iuR422g.jpg)

Both very cool guns! Good shooting, that makes for a hearty dinner.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Nice. Just going to ask if anyone still hunted cottontails. Haven't shot any for a season or two.. All my old friends that loved cottontails are gone to the happy hunting ground or moved out of town.

Old Marlin has a very long barrel! Only rabbits that I've seen around here recently were at night in car headlights.
