No i dont really hunt with too large of guns. Il ltake them with me but i usually deer hunt with a 30-06, Varmint with a .223 or .204, And moose or whatever larger game witha .300 weatherby or .300 Ultra Mag. I usually dont use too much gun. Ive too my .300 Ultra Mag for deer once though.

Good, I get criticized about it every deer season. I've heard it all, you must have a small **** to use such a big gun, you cant shoot, its ridiculous.

No i hunt wiht the same people every year and they love when i bring larger guns for them to shoot. We all bring something unusualyl large and we all have different calibers so its fun to shoot something different. Ill only use a larger rifle if im hunting from the top of a mountain and can shoot 700 or 800 yards to ther other mountain. Id do that with my 30-06 anyways though.

Nice, I'm glad to see that you have a liking for the "heavy kickers".

I like big guns and to be very accurate. If i have a gun thatw ont shoot under 1 in then ill make it shoot under 1 in. And if it wont then i get rid of it and get a new one.

Top of one mountain shooting to the other at 800 yards.
How do you judge the wind for the entire distance if you are shooting "cross-sky"?

If its really windy i wont shoot. I shoot alot at that distance and farther so im confident in my shooting that far as long as its not very windy or have any gusts of wind. I wontt ake a shot if im not 100% sure im going to hit what im shooting at.
