Good job & welcome to not only the forum but a way of lifeI took my first ever deer yesterday with my Marlin 30-30. It was my first day of deer hunting in my life. I am 36 and did not grow up hunting. I am self taught and am overly excited and happy with the doe I shot at 8:25 yesterday morning. I have scouted the area over the last couple months, as well as back in the spring. I was hunting for meat, not antlers. I gutted her, pulled her 1/4 mile down the mountain and processed her at home. Just finished grinding and vacuum sealing everything right now. So happy to get a deer in the county I reside, on public land on my first hunt. It is not lost on me how lucky I truly am. Paired with the food we grow on our property, getting to the lifestyle I aim to live is truly an amazing achievement.
I hope you all are having a positive and memorable season!

It is a 357 mag that has taken many deer. He past away 1.5 years ago and left me several of his firearms. We had spent many hours shooting and hunting over the last 25 years. It feels good to carry it afield and reflect of time past in the woods with him.What caliber? 44 Mag?
An under rated very good deer woods caliber. Even better that yours has special history. I have a standing order with my LGS for a new Ruger built Marlin 357 mag once they start shipping.It is a 357 mag that has taken many deer.

I despise see thru rings. Already have the set up picked out. A Leupold VX Freedom 1.5-5x20 in Weaver Grand Slam rings.I want one too! Can’t wait!
Fwiw kudos to you guys that shoot real rings on your levers and not the see through- self fulfilling prophecy type.
Nice! I’m not sure if I’ll put anything on it at all. My thoughts are a red dot or ghost rings. I’m very fond of ghost rings. Plus I don’t forget to turn em on.I despise see thru rings. Already have the set up picked out. A Leupold VX Freedom 1.5-5x20 in Weaver Grand Slam rings.
