[QUOTE="osok-1k, post: 1844769, member: 106259"] They all work for the magazine as do most of the online gurus selling the latest anything that a manufacturer will pay them to tout. It's all marketing of some type. My grandfather was born in northern Minnesota in 1890, bought a Winchester 94 30-30 in 1900 and fed a lot of families with moose, bear and deer using that rifle. He taught me to hunt when I was around twelve when he was seventy using the same Winchester 94. I never saw him miss and the animal fell pretty much where it stood. In his day one learned to read the earth and its effects on shooting, how to read sign and stalk to a reasonable range. He never owned a single piece of camo anything and was the most successful hunter I'd ever known. He never bragged and was the most honest and humble man I've known in my 66 years. All of that to say that one can be a very successful hunter by learning to use the tools you have and how to read your environment. [/QUOTE]
