Well, this morning I added 5 more squirrels to make it 35 this year. Also, I did a little better “allowing” for the bullet point of impact relative to the line of sight for close shots. I was 5 for 5, with 3 being head shots and 2 being chest shots. I was hunting in a south-central Indiana woods, which had not been hunted this year. So, the 4 grays and 1 fox squirrel were not nearly as nervous as those two weeks ago in the southeastern Indiana woods.

That Marlin 39 really has a slick action! And its accuracy isn’t bad either.


May all our hunts be safe, enjoyable, and deeply appreciated.
