Mississippi youth season for whitetail opens tomorrow morning. Gonna take my 15 yr old nephew. We don’t have a lot of bucks that move in the daytime but we do have a good many does, so hopefully we can get him one. He has never killed a deer. Gonna let him shoot my 35 Remington Marlin. Hopefully we can report back with success.

Well nothing this morning. We did see three but they were out of range. Maybe this evening.

Went back this evening. Had some turkeys come out. Watched them for 30-40 minutes or so when a doe came out about 110 yards. She grazed for a little while and started walking towards the food plot. She stopped about 95 yards out and my nephew sent a 200 grain FTX from the 35 Remington through both lungs broadside. She tan about 50 yards and piled up. Not bad for his first deer. We are excited!

Very nice, and Congrats to the nephew.
I agree with Lefty, a 35 Rem. is such a great woods cartridge. Be it pump, lever, or semi auto, it’s just a great traditional deer slayer.

Trapr Not to hi-jack this thread.....the 30-30 is the another true classic/traditional woods rifle. I have a new found love/interest in the 2 mentioned cartridges, thanks to a friend of mine and my Grandfather.
