Thanks for the advice. I will take it with me when I head down to town on Weds (1 hr drive each way). Anyone know any good pro-shops in the Redding area?

While I am itching to get a deer, I understand that it can take time to harvest one. I was tracking a buck last year at camp, but tracked him straight into my buddy who bagged him. The gutting and dragging for miles was an experience.
