Though I've harvested my share of deer in my life, today I was able to claim my first whitetail using my Marlin 336A. The Marlin is in .30-30 Ackley, and I was relieved to see that a 170-grain flat-point at middlin' velocity still works. The buck was a fat, thick-necked six-point, and he was no more than 40 yards away. Entry hole in the right ribs, exit hole in the left ribs, he ran about 25 yards and piled up.

I love it when things work like they should.
