BobinNH made an observation I agree with. Outlaw tree stands and put everyone afoot. Sort out the woodsmen from the trail watchers. But I digress.

I don't think we have to choose one of the above. Obviously the thread is geared to woodsmanship being the right answer. Overall I have to agree. Consistently taking game dictates it. On the other hand. In this day and age there is no reason not to be afield with less than a .5 MOA rig. It's just too easy to do now.

Not every crotchety old grey whiskered curmudgeon in camp with the 30/30, is an expert woodsman. Likewise assuming that because a man carries a finely tuned one hole rig,he can't find deer is wrong.

Put me down for both. A freezer full of venison and a rifle I can brag about.
