[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1373437, member: 12443"] You guys are actually in the cat bird seat Kevin. That because your young, in good shape, and have the knowledge and ability. But the world is constantly changing, and that includes our world and the way we have gone about what we do. The days of groups of guys setting up with big glasses and heavy guns on big lookouts isn't working well anymore. And it makes no difference how far you lug that stuff before you set up. You know as well as I that theres no guarantee of seeing more deer when you travel to the more remote areas. We like to think there is, and that's what keeps us going back. Especially when its not working at the closer to camp spots. I really believe that the future is to go backwards to how it was years ago. There aren't enough hunters in the woods to make it happen and that's not about to change. So young guys like you will have to make it happen on their own with scaled down equiptment and move around from place to place thruout the day. Larry Smith is now about 90, and of coarse finished as for hunting. He has sold his guns and his camp below Driftwood is for sale. He never progressed beyond a factory 7 mag and he never dialed his scope. He did have a multible dot reticle however, and he had a set of Spacemasters which he carried over his shoulder on a rifle sling tripod and all. Larry usually hunted alone because he figured he would find the deer at some point and that way it would be his and not his buddys. I doubt he ever shot one of the over 50 bucks he killed beyond about 5/600 yds, and he didn't mind if they were 50 yds. He wasent fussy about trophys, if it was legal he shot it. If Larry was 35 you can bet he would still be doing it, and the bucks would be better than ever. And so would Bob Sebring who used to walk back to the Miller run area from the cemetery, which is no doubt faster than driving there. [/QUOTE]
