Marlin 60= skunk slayer
« on: June 21, 2009, 05:24:15 AM »
Couple weeks back noticed something digging underneath my barn. right next to my boat. Ws hoping it was a ground hog or woodchuck. Soon realized it ws a family of skunks. Now Im not the kinda guy to shoot something just for the sake of shooting. But one morning while having coffee on the back deck before work. I watched my cat messing with a big ole skunk :o. Then couple  days later the skunk came out of the hole while the kids were in the yard. 20 ft away.  So I loaded up the Marlin 60 & put it in the garage to be ready. Well lst week 5 of them rolled out of the hole. I got 3 of them from 70 yards & two hid underneath my boat trailer Then tucked into the hole while I reloaded. :-[ Little bit of stink but not too bad. Well I took some grief from the wife bout missing the 2 Well I redeemed my self this morning . Got the last 2 this morning. From 70 yards got   a head The 2nd one hid between my tires on the trailer. So I had to change my angle a bit. tires are exspensive. took 2 shots to stop this one.

OH MY GOD!!! That was my cousin's family from (*insert where burntmuch lives here* ;)). :'( Oh the pain and agony they've suffered for being different... :'(  ;D

Good story Burntmuch. That was some darn good shooting. I've never owned a Model 60, but I've heard they are an accurate little rifle.

If you only got a little skunk scent, you were lucky.

Skunks need too be kept thinned out, because they are prone to get Rabies...

Skin them, tan them fur on, sew them together, present them to your wife as a black and white afghan. For those cold evenings. She"ll understand...!

Buddy of mine squirrel hunts exclusively with a model 60.
Every squirrel he has ever shot was straight through the Gut.
Too consistant to be the gun.... I think he does it to irritate me!
