    Rethinking "Leave no trace"

    Those are great CHINESE bags. If they were DULUTH PACK bags, they were made in Duluth, Mn. I still have my Dad's Duluth Pack from 1926, been repaired twice from bear damage.......is used every year, a lot.

    Whitetail taxidermy issue

    Interesting. I have always hung by the rear legs as I believe that hanging by the neck is disrespectful to the animal whose life you have taken. Darrel

    Hornady GMX warning

    I believe that bullet shape is a large factor into how these bullets work at the target. For many years we have shot the Barnes 150gr FP in a .30-30 and the performance is more than impressive on large Whitetails. WE are also shoulder shooters.

    DRT - deer shot placement?

    I shoot to break the shoulders. I hunt the bush on foot and most all shots are at a moving animal. Mostly use a 30-06 / 180 Accubond @ 2820fps though many have been shot with a .30-30 and 150 Barnes. Animals are in the 175 # dressed and up range.

    30-06 Accubond Factory Ammo

    I handload 180 Accubonds in my .30-06 for whitetails and they are very good. I am a shoulder shooter and they almost always break both shoulders on a 240# Whitetail.

    Vortex vs Leupold Hunting Scope

    I have used a VX6HD 1-6 for a bit and it is an exceptional scope. I have been a Swarovski Habicht Fixed power guy for many years and it is an equal to that. I still use a fixed power for hunting big game. Darrel Wick

    Help me love deer hunting again

Here's what I've learned....and it's very simple: 1) Good 8x Binoculars....8x because anything over is tough to keep still....not $1800 ones 2) Fixed 4x scope and use it to range with...I use the old Swarovski's...a variable can screw you up 4)...
