gahuntertom Campfire Tracker G Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 3,626 Atlanta	in the '80's, my hunting moto was if it's brown it's down. we still cull does after rut but I'd pass anything less than a nice 10pt. In the '80's my main rig was a SAKO A111 30'06 in a Brown precision stock with a Leupold 2.5x8 scope. now my main rifle is an AO 7/08 custom with a Zeiss 2x10 scope. For a few thousand dollars, I picked up 1/2" group size. As an earlier poster said our seasons are much longer so no more hunting in the rain or really cold mornings. Since I hunt in the south the termocell has been a blessing. We hunt out of tower stands so the gadgets like range finders & CDS are of no value to me. Hunting now is a social event where 40 years it was a competitive sport.
