How many here are going to be using a lever for their hunting season this year? I realize some live where they can't use a rifle but for the rest of us, I was curious as to the percentage that basically uses levers to shoot and those who use them to hunt with also, as their primary rifle.
I've already taken an antelope in Wyoming with my Marlin CB in .38-55 and a cast bullet.
Deer season opens here at home this Saturday and I'll be packing either a Marlin CB in .44 using a 260gr cast load out behind the house in the heavy timber or when I go up high where it is much more open and alpine I'll take the .38-55.
I get to hunt elk behind the house for 2 days before heading back to Wyoming after mulies. For the elk hunting I'll be using a Marlin 444 and 265 JSP's since I am having issues with cast.
Back to Wyoming I'll be using the same Marlin CB in .38-55.
Back home in time for late buck season here and if I didn't tag up during general season I'll still be using one of the 24" Marlin CB's in .44.
Then I have a chance at meat only as I was drawn for a cow only tag up on the flanks of Mt St Helens, should I not tag a bull behind the house in those first two days of general elk season. For this I am torn between either the 444 Marlin or the .348 using 250gr Barnes. I like shooting cast in the .348 but have about 100 of the Barnes left and can't afford to buy any more of them
