    Your first deer rifle?

    I grew up in S.E. Minnesota so shotgun only. My first was a 12 ga 870 wingmaster. I hunted ducks, pheasants and deer with it. Moved to Montana 20 yrs ago and bought a Winchester model 70 7mm rem mag. Hunt deer, elk & antelope with it.

    Help choosing camouflage!!

    I don't put a lot of stock in camo. My grandpa gun & bow hunted 75 year in a red flannel and his overalls. I cannot remember a year where he didn't fill his tag. He told me to sit still and be quiet and it works. To this day I still hunt in jeans. 😆
