Still hunting, I may use my bolt action 30-30 or my 35 Remington. And also in one of
my ladder stands set up in various parts of my timber. If I am in one of my box stands overlooking the large field after the horses have been moved to their winter pasture, then I get our My .35 Whelen, where some shots could be over 250yds. I like to use that little 30-30 in the field too. As it is clip fed, and I don't have a tube fed 30-30, I find that I can load up 30 cal. spitzers and come up with a load just a little less potent than a 30-06. I use my 35 Remington for a brush gun.
After shoulder surgery, I have found that I can no longer pull a bow, so that hunting is in my past. I use my 50 cal. Hawken during the local Black powder seasons.
