Northern MN Whitetails:
For still hunting I take the good old Marlin 30-30.
For the stand I will use my Browning Pump Rifle 30-06. Just picked up a Leupold 1X4 scope that should be good in the woods. Always relied on open sights but figured that with age the eyes could use the light collection factor of a scope during low light periods.

It is not enough to fight for natural land and the west; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still there. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends...

I am trying the 7.21 Firebird on a Sako action this year on deer. Loaded with 140gr TSX it should do the jod on deer and maybe an elk if I run into one.

Several years ago I inherited a 1955 Winchester model 70 300H&H. I did not really want to drag it around in the field as it is 98% +. This year I picked up a cut beat up stock that I put a large recoil pad on the get the LOP right so it will go hunting this year, a bit much for deer but I bet it will work just fine. Heck I am the same vintage, so if I can so can the model 70.As a backup my Steyr SBS in 6.5X57. It will be my first time to Nebraska my wifes brother is the district ranger.
