Ain't nothing too fancy for what I need...

For anyone in Virginia (I think there's a Virginia Mountain thread somewhere below)... Remember the area near Sherando Lake, called Coal Rd in the Big Levels area? This was me last year heading back out for an afternoon hunt, from one of the pullover/parking areas along Coal Rd.

I know Coal Rd and Big Levels. I've hunted it several times, and may again this year. Season is really short there, though. I get a Nat'l Forest permit every year thinking I'll make it there again. Getting there during the two week season isn't always easy since its a 3 hour drive for me. I usually stay overnight in Waynesboro. Mills Creek Reservoir has some nice Brookies in it.

I was actually thinking of Big Levels when I got this. A nice handy rifle for that area. Winchester Model 70 Featherweight .308.
