I have been hunting for years with a hand me down Rem model 760, 30-06. Recently received a 33 cal Winchester lever action with a peep sight. Got it from my dad who got it from his father-in -law, who got it from his father-in -law,etc. I will try putting one down with that old gun, built in 1902.

Hunting a new 80 acre plot of land...Going in blind and I'm excited about that "unknown". I'll have boots on ground the day before opener to find my way to some existing stands.
By hunting time, aerial photos, facing the wind, and a good pair of boots may have to do.
Quite frankly, I love hunting blind.

Because I'm going in blind (more or less) and traveling in from out of state (in CO, heading to northern MN for whitetail opener) I'm having an internal debate of what rifles to bring. I have a 338 Win Mag that I haven't had a chance to hunt with yet and while it's extremely overkill, I have a box of 200 grain SSTs that may just get called into action. I have a .308 and a nice little 7-08 but I'm itching to get that 338 out on a hunt!lol Probably going to bring them all, along with a 7mm WSM for any long open field shots...

Please, please give those stands a real good going over before getting in them.
Also for you and all the other hunters, make sure you know the local medical locations, fire departments, phone numbers, etc. and keep them in your phone or on hand.
Good, safe hunting to everyone.
