I've been wanting to put on together, as well, but after sighting in the prism on the Benelli m4 to 100 yards for bear hunting season last month, I think I'll give that a go this year.

I have really enjoyed the .350 single shot I got for my daughter. She killed her first deer with it and it's accurate, light, handy in a treestand, came threaded for a can, and has a very good trigger for a single shot. I just can't find any significant fault with it. |

After a slow start, last nights cold front seemed to have pushed our local deer into daylight activity.
Saw six does/fawns today, then a small 6 point, then this guy. 90 yard shot, he stepped forward as the shot broke but I got the liver and one lung and he only went ~20 yards and laid down. Before I could reload his head was down for keeps. Same stand my daughter killed her deer from 2 weeks ago. I rarely hunt there but the wind was right for it today.

I missed a little buck on Tuesday... weather was shit, rain/snow mix, I took my son, and we were just hunting from the ground, see deer out in a cut bean field, we crawl to the edge, and there is a little retarded looking 4 point out that i passed a few days earlier with my bow, because i want to get one with my son (he is 6)
Range finder wouldnt work worth a shit, didn't have scope covers, and couldn't clear my lenses, they were foggy, it was foggy in the field, just shit. Well, i guessed them to be 150 yards, and my new Marlin was sighted in @ 100 with handloads, they should only drop 3" (45-70) well, I missed 3 fucking times because they all just stood around and last shot he left the field i walked to check for sign, and could not find any blood, and scanned next area with my thermal and could not find anything... So, I have a fear I mixed up handloads and my rifle is sighted in with a different load than i loaded up that same morning. have to start over on targets to see if I just suck, or if i just fucked up. I'm taking my 6.5CM this weekend up north, and I have 100% confidence with that and the ammo I am using, so hopefully we have more success. I will also be in a blind lol |

When it’s really cold, I put those heat packs / toe warmers inside my scent rag, to preventing it from freezing solid and the heat helps release more scent . |
