HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

Pics are being developed (I'm one of those dinosaurs who still uses film...)

Buddy shot his first deer after three unsuccessful hunts. He did good: Took a nice clean shot, and dropped his deer in its tracks. Had a shot at a bigger deer, but it was screened by brush. Anyways his first deer was a little button buck.

Being the smart ass that I am, I had the rack mounted. Teh bullet passed through the deer and struck a small shrub, killing it too. I mounted that as well....

Shot on 12/14/07 in northern Florida, Remington 700 in .270 Win., my handload, 130 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet at ~150 yards. Dropped at the shot, got up and walked off about 10 yards.

 

Re: HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

I got a pic I'd like to post of my Fall Black Bear w/ my 30-30 if I can email it for someone to post.

 

Re: HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

These were my two for 07. Neither was with the 1894 but I had a new rifle and I had to use it. I had prostate surgery between the two. I will try to post my 1894 Marlin kills in another post if this one works.

 

Re: HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

A couple from 05 with the Marlin.

 

Re: HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

Here is one I used the Marlin 1894 with the adapted Ashley Ghost Ring with the vaccum tubing insert. It was also my 1st with a hard cast bullet, Beartooth 290 gr. LFNGC, I think.

It performed flawlessly. He was on the move at about 40 yds when he came in the open. He ran a semicircle around my tree of about 50 yds.

Nice sow hog taken with a Marlin 1894 .44 mag, 270 grain bullet at about 45 yards. This one is just a little older than what the thread calls for though, but not by much. :-\

Here is a 24# Bobcat I took in '05. The gun is my 1894CB 45 X 24". I shot the cat at 8 feet. The rancher was elated to have removed this big tom cat from his sheep pasture. Papalote

This is my brother. The coastal blacktail buck was taken on public land in Napa County, California.

Re: HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

Well, I guess I'm just gonna have to add a few pics of my own........

 

Re: HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

Expect at least 1 from me with my 1894.

 

Re: HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

Here is an 1894 kill. My son took this baby at 75 yards with his 1894 44 mag.

 

Bringing home the...sausage

Not a Marlin, but the mate to my 1894FG, a S & W 657 Hunter in 41 Mag. 210gr Speer JHP, through the neck at about 20 yds. Having her made into smoked and jalapeno/cheddar sausage!

Man, that is awesome!

 

Re: HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

Some more 1894S victoms.

Re: HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

Mark, great pics! My son and I really hope we can get to Australia some day for a hunt. Here are pics of my deer taken this yr. in Indiana. Up til last yr. it was shotgun/muzzleloader state. They passed a pistol caliber rifle season last yr. After 17 yrs. hunting with a shotgun, it was a hoot to get to hunt with a lever action rifle.

"brain fart" buck. long story, I thought he was bigger than he was.

my son's buck and my doe, shot at the same time.

my second doe, taken at 150 yds.

Re: HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

Judging from the smile on your face it looks like you are enjoying yourself. Thanks for sharing!

 

Re: HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

Congrat's on the kills. Nice to see hunters in Australia enjoying Marlins... ;D

What do you do with them? I mean how do you prepare them for the table in Australia?

The Billy would not be edible, however Kid goat is quite the opposite and one of my favorite meats.

Young pig taken in grain growing areas is usualy good table fare, but pigs from outback areas such as the ones in my pics can be very iffy, they eat a lot of carrion.



Thanks Mad, You and your son would have a ball here and be most welcome any time.

Cheers,
Mark.

 

Re: HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

Great pics guys. Oz, I'd sure like to hunt down there in Australia sometime. What a place!

 

Re: HUNTING PICTURES ( some may be graphic)

Mark, Water buff, scrub bulls, and lotsa hogs[I LOVE hunting piggies], would be on my hunt menu for Australia. ;D ;D ;D
