Today I got to take my Marlin 60 with my new Vortex scope out on some public land in VA looking for squirrels. Coming from a shotgun only state, it was quite a satisfying experience to carry a rifle afield.
I probably had my most successful hunt yet, getting 5-6 squirrels in my crosshairs when previously hunts have yielded much less (I have only been hunting a total of 6-7 times). Unfortunately not a single one was silhouetted against a trunk or the ground, so I couldn't take a single shot for risk of the bullet landing somewhere for which I couldn't account. I am pretty sure I will take my shotgun for a few more weeks until the squirrels are lower on the trees and ground.
I had a great time and really like the photo I took through scope on the way back to my truck above.
