Little background. I hunt in northern CA and I’d say 90% of my hunting has been done still hunting/road hunting (ill take the hate for road hunting ) but after the last couple of bucks I have taken from road hunting, I couldn’t help but feel a little weird/bad about it being too easy. My kid is coming into his first season being able to big game hunt and I want to show him a more challenging/rewarding way of hunting and he’s all for it. So that brings me to my topic. Want to get into more back country and with some of the places I’ve hiked into, long range shooting would be a lot more productive. With that in mind, anyone have any tips for starting out as a long range shooter as it is a bit intimidating with all the different options. Scope recommendations? Rifle recommendations? Do’s and donts? I’ve got about a $1200 budget for rifle and scope. TIA
