In all seriousness, the Marlin is a great rifle, too. I own a Model 60, one of the best rifles ever made.
Brownings are nice, but in terms of quality AND accuarcy AND ruggedness, it's hard to beat the Marlin.
California sucks that's it.
Don't sweat it! You and Mason will get another chance. He is just learning early that hunting is about patience, discipline, patience and discipline! He'll get a shot at the big boy before the end of the season, I promise.Btw...Ever thought about using skunk or fox scent to cover you up in the event the wind changes direction?
