I'll be hunting with a Mossberg ATR-100 .270 win....by the way, what is good to reduce the recoil? I really don't like the kick! (my husband says that it's "just a little kick", ha ha! yeah right...not for me!)
We don't use a stand. We stalk them. Partly because my husband is deathly afraid of heights. He gets shakey changing a light bulb in the kitchen ceiling.
The heavier the gun, the less recoil. I'm really little so I use a .50 caliber Hawken style muzzleloader. I can hardly feel it.
