If I had my choice, I would always hunt with something bigger then a 50 caliber. Not that a 50 caliber will not get the job done. And I have hunted with them. But I prefer a larger caliber, like the 54 or 58 caliber.

Lee.. believe it or not. We hit 42 degrees here today. That has to be a record. I mean the end of January is our coldest time of year with day time highs of 18 degrees on average. Night times can be down right brutal. I have never got by on so little fire wood in my life. And I am burning junk wood this year. I only throw some hard maple on at night when I go to bed.
