Bring the 30-30 along with you just incase you will be walking some thick bush. Best of luck.
Thanks.... Yeah, the Marlin .30-30 will now be asecond string, backup. But, when you think about it, I just can't leave it home. I have to bring it with me to the deer camp. I got my first buck (small 3 pointer) last season with it, remember?
Out in the George Washington Nat'l Forest, there is a mixture of big overlooks, that go for hundreds and hundredsof yards. There's also some serious, wicked thick, brush and briars, where you can't even see 25 yards. So, I guess I have the best of both worlds.
