I also have a pair of 1895 marlins, one with peeps for such needs actually, and some rather solid loads to take anything down at close range. If I'm hunting thick timber, I'm bringing one of them. If I'm covering open country, I like a lil Rum with my sage. If its a mix, I have a slew of toys to use, including my 375, trajectory of an '06, with the hammer of Thor, and deadly accurate. Should nickname her, the anchor.
