Am calling a few critters with an eye out for lion tracks all through the winter, but have moved to a new state and have a couple of preps for next Fall.

I plan to buy a shotgun in order to hunt deer in low country shotgun/bow only areas not far from town, a radical switch from my decades of backpack hunting timberline. It is time. My grandsons are having fun showing me pockets of local deer that they hunt in bow season on days they don't have time to hike to alpine. Also need to put my Rem 700 SS Mountain rifle back in its original stock, re-sight it in, etc. after being in a youth stock while another grandson used it as he grew up. The grandkids are trying to talk me into hunting elk with that 30-6 rifle... and I may. Am thinking a red dot on the shotgun. I liked shooting grouse with a red dot on my .22 rifle.
