Great article, Mr Z. I've been a fan of your writing for years and this piece captures your ability to frame a successful hunt within the bounds of "classic" rounds. I hunt a farm in North Dakota with hard woods and grassy border areas. Have taken many bucks on the "fringes" where woods meet grass and corn fields. My father in law shot the biggest whitetail ever taken on this farm with a stock Rem 700 .270 as he moved through the grass to the swamp by an old abandoned barn. A heavy 14 point.
