Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters A Close-in Deer Rifle

I hunt much the same way. I hunt tall grass and cat tail marshes . I hide in trees and ambush them. A light gun is very important. Last deer I got I had the gun raised for several minutes . Dont laugh,, unless ya want to, but I was so tired I could hardly keep the gun still. I use my new Ruger American comapct with 18" barrel in .243 Win. The compact is important, the caliber does not seem to matter.
