You can shoot turkey with rifle in Texas??? I did not know that. Now have to re-think that whole deal. Maybe I can find a Marlin in 25-20??? or 219 maybe? I would be interested if turkey could get thrown in. I would need Bosco on board. We would come down together. His knowledge of turkeys is low in...

Marlin32

I guess I don't need someone telling me what to do or how to shoot. Last time I would be at that range. But then again, I do not go to range, shoot out my back door.

Marlin32

Started shooting with my Dad's Marlin 39A. Bit long, bit heavy, also used my Uncle's Remington bolt action single shot bolt. I used Dad's Browning 22 auto some also until I bought my own 22, a Winchester 9422 which is still the only 22 that I have. No gun is more safe or unsafe than any other. Taugh...

Marlin32

Will be eating one in about an hour. What Shrapnel does x2. However, this time (not always but about 1/2 of the time) I soak in a brine overnight (two nights won't hurt, but at least 12 hours) I dissolve the following with 2 gallons of water in a big 5 gal round igloo water cooler: 3 cups Kosher sal...

Those are Fox Squirrels. And if you do anything but fry them up in a skillet, you should not be allowed to hunt squirrels ever again. Unless they are old, big males. Then I usually give them to Dad, he makes Hasenfeffer out of them which I do not like. Nothing better than fried squirrel. Man alive, ...

Marlin32

Okay, too windy and crappy to hunt so back on the computer analyzing wildcats for next rifle. I have interest in the 348DC and know a couple on forum have one. Intrigue me a bit, but not sure what I gain over the 338ME? My thought, is what if you take the 348DC and neck it down slightly to 338 and u...

What are the chances of killing a Rio Grande Turkey at the same time?
I wouldn't mind shooting some good meat for the freezer (not sure I need it, but...)and have chance at killing a Rio.

Marlin32

Why would anyone let go of a 32 special? unless you traded the Win 32 for a Marlin 32?

Marlin32

Snowy owl in Iowa? That is a bit of a rarity. Have heard some people around here seeing them too (Nebraska)

Marlin32

Only one. I traded a very early made Winchester AE in 307 for a Winchester 24 sxs in 16ga. Wish I still had the 307!! It never shot as well as I thought it should. Reason I belive was the absolutely horrible trigger!! I was young, didn't even know you could get triggers worked on, still not sure if ...

Marlin32

I use one (only on front) when turkey hunting, have used it when shooting ducks etc, shows up well against sky, but don't know if it helps, I aint looking at it. I am staring bird in the eye, never really see the sight.

Marlin32

Love my 32 special, go with the Speer!! I have repeatedly on this and another forum, my skepticism of the FTX bullets.

Marlin32

Didn't they re-make that into a 16ga too? That is what I would go for. Otherwise I would buy a Browning BPS in 16ga, but then again, I wouldn't probably be buying a pump. As much as I am a sucker for lever guns, a bigger sucker for doubles. (and A-5's) oh, and I would really like a Double Automatic ...

Marlin32

Shooting big trophy animals happen one of two ways...Pure Luck and Karma. Hunts like you just had is money in the karma bank. Next mule deer hunt, you will stumble onto a 49 pointer within 25 yards, broadside, looking away from you. That is the way I look at it. I am going to hunt muley maybe this f...

Marlin32

Love the cats myself. Dad hates them. Views them as terrible turkey killers. Which they are, but there are bobcats here because there are a great number of turkey! (and other game) As soon as CRP disappears, it will become rare again to see a bobcat in this neck of the woods. I have had many opportu...

Marlin32

It is a well know fact that Santa prefers to use a Marlin 336A in 32 Special. I thought everyone was aware of that?

Marlin32

I would like a 24" barreled 45 colt Marlin. And I ain't down sizing!!

Marlin32

RST will work. I load my own Nice Shot for 10,12, 16 and 24ga. Hits just like lead, loads just like lead and is safe for all barrels. Can't answer for damascus barrels, but email the guy (or call) at Nice Shot, he will be more than willing to answer. He is nice guy, I wouldn't be surprised if he was...

Marlin32

"...well, I want each of you fellas to buy yourself a dollar ingersol watch. Can't break them with a hammer, and won't lose more than a minute a month..."
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Marlin32

Dead give away that Heaven wouldn't have allowed dogs in. If heaven doesn't allow dogs, I ain't going!

Marlin32

I have two pocket watches, neither worth anything except to me.

Marlin32

I have two 10ga double barrels, an O/U and a sxs. BOught them for waterfowl and turkey, but they work on pheasant this time of year also. I load 2 7/8 and 3" loads in them, essentially I am shooting 12ga loads thru a 10 bore and the patterns and "hits" on birds is off the charts. If I...

Marlin32

When I was moose hunting earlier this year, a gal in camp shot a white tail buck, a big boy, 250lb I would guess, at 225+ yards but used the Barnes TSX bullet, not sure of the weight of those. I was more than impressed with the wounds in that animal!! Personally, I would not have taken the shot she ...

Marlin32

Yes, they were "smoked/cured/cooked" I have tried it the other way and hard to keep the feathers lit, and never knew the correct end to put in my mouth. No bucks, at least big enough that I wanted to shoot, UNTIL I went pheasant hunting afterwards, dang if we didn't kick up a nice buck, he...

Marlin32

That good dog deserves to ride in the front seat with a blanket on !! I wouldn't even show this picture to my wife, she would write you one nasty letter. She tends to spoil my hunting dogs, and they have blankets, pillows etc. She even bought a heated blanket and put it in an old kennel of mine that...

Marlin32

I would like to have found that deal, then converted it to 356!!??? That is my plan, some day anyway.

Marlin32

Got up late, so much for early morning hunt! Headed out with the smoke pole in search of large buck. Still one slinking around my woods, going to try and catch him maybe around the noon hour, not sure when he is moving around, probably at dark, but maybe we can catch him taking a short stretch then....

Marlin32

Shootin' turk with a rifle here in Nebraska is a no no also.
What would that 25 do on a squirrel?

Marlin32

Tell me the names and organizations of the Biologists who claim the wolves are good for big game populations. I would contact their superiors, government heads, RMEF and other organizations to see that they are removed from their positions. Good greif, take a quick gander at Idaho, Montana and Wyomi...

got skunked on the trap line overnight. Going to go to plan B, hope I don't have to get the old Long Tom 10ga out.

Marlin32

Wife just found two mice taking up house in the spice cabinet above stove. She threw away about $40 worth of spices, (I didn't think he ate much of the half-sharp Hungarian Paprika) My dog Yasha got one, but the other has taken refuge under or in the couch. Will be setting trap line this evening I f...

Marlin32

Wish I had started that collection, but there is always time. Going on a released pheasant hunt this weekend, normally do that only to get dog warmed up or some extra work just for fun, this year is tough pheasant hunting for wild birds, so this will be welcome, released or not, it is fun. Will be u...

Marlin32

I have two more cents to add, I personnally think the 25 calibers way too small for elk sized game. 6.5 and 7mm also. Buy or have customized the 308, a little bit of weight, a good recoil pad and maybe a leather cheek pad, and she will be able to shoot it just fine. 165 or 180's. I would stay away f...

Marlin32

I would say the 180's would be fine. I do not notice extra recoil from 165 to the 180's or the 200's. But that is me not her. Are there reduced recoil loads in 308? If she shot them while "practicing" and then slip the 180's in for the hunt, she will never know. The TSX might not be bad id...

Marlin32

Have one in 308. Nice gun, likes the lighter weight bullets which is too bad as I like using heavier bullets, but with deer in my neck of woods, that performance difference is nil. And if I did take it out to Sandhills or further west, I would probably use the Hornady light magnum loads I have in 16...

Marlin32

Would like to see recovered bullets etc. A deer isn't necessarily hard to kill, and you can kill one in SPITE of poor bullet performance. Maybe the FTX ok on deer sized game, but I used the Remington cor-lokt in my 338ME because I have just heard too many reports (from people I trust, not internet o...

Marlin32

great book. Hard to follow, no timeline, just a patch work of stories, but very interesting, especially caliber and bullet choice on big game including grizz. Second, he was one tough hombre, most stories end like this... and then I walked 15 miles back to cabin... (with a moose, sheep or other on h...

Marlin32

I would recommend camo. Lot of things you can't control shooting turkeys, being disguised and hidden the best you can is one thing you CAN control.

Marlin32

I just got back a few days ago from South Dakota pheasant hunt with my St Usuge Spaniel. She loves to pheasant hunt and is a big spoiled cutie pie face. But a pheasant demon.

Marlin32

Don't get much better than that 'ceptin' if you were usin' a Marlin 336 in 32 Special.
Good hunt.

Marlin32

Looks good to me! I would like to do just what you did with the 35 Rem. I am thinking though of the new models, a 35 Rem XLR and having it converted, but in the end, not sure what I gain past the 338ME. In same boat, limited ammo, need to load my own, and still won't gain much. But love the looks of...

Marlin32

Looks like a piece of garbage to me. But then again, that is about what I think of the 870 (newer ones anyway)

Always get what you pay for. Man would be better off buying a BPS if set on a pump.

Marlin32

I have a '64 JD 1010. Love the little thing. In great shape too.

Like the David Bradley two wheel tractors. Gravely too! Have been looking for a Gravely hay dump rake. Anyone see one or know of one, let me know!! I have an Italian BCS two wheel tractor, would love the dump rake that Gravely made.

Marlin32

Usually Buck 121 ( I don't think made anymore) Sometimes the 119. Also will carry the Ka-Bar once in a while.

Marlin32

I understand the SD thing, but I tend not to over think it depending on the situation as I shoot 170gr bullets in my 32 special, when that same weight bullet is available to me in 30-30 which would give it better SD, but experience tells me no difference (or not enough) But that is bullets in differ...

Marlin32

YOu had to know that was coming sooner or later? Curious, I think their is a smaller like say 250 or so grain bullet for that. Wondering what the trajectory on it is? I will do some more research (researching 8mm and other Metric cartridges and sometimes get side tracked) ANyway, I thought maybe the...

Marlin32

NOt sure if a wood stove is safest option. Make sure you have clearance and the right pipe going up out of the "den" If looking for a small stove, check out the Marine stoves for use on small ships/boats. They make a couple different sizes, cook tops and I think a diesel model too. LIttle ...

Marlin32

Hope you don't duplicate them exactly, I don't want to help haul another one of your deer out of the creek! Going to have to teach you how to spine shoot I guess.

Marlin32

I do want a newly manufactored rifle, a mauser, not an old 98 (not that I wouldn't take a 98 in 8x57 or 7x57) Guns are offered in magnum chamberings including the 8x68. I have thought on the 8mm-06 some. 3200 Hawk has my interest as well. Then again, to get back to leverguns, I am also eyeballin' 8m...

Marlin32

How do you get a hold of a new Mauser? From website, all I get is a phone number and address to some one in San Antonio. I know this is not a lever, but I am asking for a reason. I like the sound of the 8.5x63mm cartridge which Mauser chambers. I also thinking maybe 8x68 but that might be a bit much...
