Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Winchester Mod 70 finished!

Yeah, I know. I talked to the landowner a couple of days ago. He is usually planting by now and probably wont be starting for 3 more weeks(hopefully). He said that the winter kill might be bad. Don't know. If there are no deer, I'll shoot all the coyotes he has been complaining about! It will be a fun trip nonetheless.

You will see some deer, but buck numbers will be way down as they were this year. We lose alot of bucks during the winter due to the rut wearing them down and the inability to pack on lost weight prior to winter setting in.
Coyote hunting is excellent in that area. Lots of wolves to from what I understand.

Great looking rifle! I'm not much for the WSMs though. Would rather have it in 308 Win, especially for hunting the UP.

Dagget has some ag fields where a 300 wsm may come in handy.

I'll be hunting primarily on corn fields(if the snow melts in enough time to get them planted)! 😁 The landowner plants his crop just for deer hunting. I foolishly sold my first 300WSM a couple years ago to a buddy that "had to have it". It was deadly on deer, out to 500 in Virginia bean fields.
