It is a tradition that I take my daughter with me on Thanksgiving day. We had a great time at Roush Lake, just no deer. Awesome weather for an observer but probably too warm for deer.

greetings Brilliant tradition i wish we were more like that over the pond here, but alas hunting is not quite the same as it was. That looks a nice rifle is it a lever action, if so what calibre is it. And by the smile on your daughters face she is enjoying her day out with dad. I am envious, regards to you all Billy.

What, no smokepole? I didn't know you had a cartridge gun! Looks like a good time with fond memories. BOB

Thanks Billy. The rifle is a Marlin 1894 44 mag. It is way over scoped and at some point I will replace it either with a straight 3 or a 1-4 varible.

"Scope is quicker to verify antler"... I know exactly what you mean. I refuse to carry binoculars during gun season. You may only see the deer of a lifetime for a few brief seconds, and I don't want to be fumbling with binocs then trying to acquire the target in the gun scope. Besides, the scope is variable to 12 power, binocs are fixed at 8. Good luck out there. BOB
