    Hunt in the rain

    I live in the Appalachian mountains . My favorite and best times hunting are in the rain . I actually plan on it . I got a good rain suit and it helps but nothing keeps you super dry .

    Handgun hunting practice and accuracy.

Seems like no kidding that every deer hunter around here gets a 300 magnum to shoot less than 200 yards . WNC mountains . I always...

    Accuracy with a dot reticle (Trij Accu)

    It’s all I hunt with . It’s accurate enough for me out to 300 . I don’t have any shot further than that . Best scope in the business for simple short range hunting lowlight . At least I think so
