I'd get a black hunter off amazon for under 100.and see if you enjoy it. There are limbs readily available to increase draw weight so you don't overbow yourself right from the start, plus it's nice later to have some lighter weight limbs for rabbit hunting and such.
I find animals all the time...mine, yours, doesn't matter just gotta outrun the girls. Pro tip, push them to keep em bleeding, bonus if you shoot them in the leg it slows them down. ~AVB but friends call me leg reaper.
Ugh...just ordered some 14s and wasn't sure if wide or medium was the right call. The 200g are on sale so I'm guessing I'll be double screwed since i got the 14s in a regular. Guess I'll find out in a few days when they arrive. Allegedly the returns for different sizes is a simple process but...
I have my 870 12g from when I was 12. Those guns can take a beating. I reach for my 870 20g though almost every time. I can share shells with my daughter or wife, and conversely don't usually have to share with buddies.
Google earth appears to have updated images, atleast for the area I am heading to tomorrow. Definitely different than they were about a week ago for me atleast.

Good on Outdoor Life. Based on the story told by old leg shooter himself, that was the correct outcome. As small and meaningless as the act may be, I will by a copy this evening. The memes in this thread alone are worth the 4 or 5 bucks. I'm sure there are other sketchy individuals associated...
I'm just glad my childhood passed before Instagram hunting ruined my reading choices. Would be terrible to find out that Patrick McManus didn't do some of the stuff he wrote about, or in some case he did, otherwise much like Outdoor Life I'd never read it again.
Just to add though your trip is done, i recently got a power bank to recharge electronics and found that at a certain temp (i was at 9°) some stuff is too cold to recharge apparently. So stick a toe warmer on your phone to keep it warm is my bit of advice. In your sleeping bag may work but i...
One step further than needed to get the job done is too far. If I am alone I try to stay within 5 miles unless I know I can keep the meat in good shape. Unfortunately i think we've all seen a nice animal well beyond where we would have liked to be, but we were there and thats what makes memories.
