Here's my Dad, this year. He's been hunting the same valley in the Allegany mountains (southern NY) I think for 47 years. He's 70 now. I haven't been back for deer season for 7 years. I need to make it next year. A few years ago he started complaining about how heavy his rifle was. I bought him the titanium Remington 700 in the picture ay Don's. I made him cough up his 1962 Winchester Model 70 before I gave it to him. I scoped the model 70 this year, bought the cheapest ammo at sportsmans and the first three rounds out of it grouped 5/8" at 100 yards. I'll bet that rifle's killed 100 deer.

I've applied the past several years, but just picked choices on the range. I've never talked to anybody who actually went on the hunt. A few guys I work with used to work at the range. They both said that there was no shortage of them running around. I just don't know how restricted the hunter's movements are on the range, and how skitish the animals get with the sudden pressure. Good luck on your draw.

Rolkat - How many rounds have you run through it ? What are you looking to get out of it ?
