[QUOTE="Hirschkopf, post: 3896117, member: 50724"] The start of my AZ to OK drive for rifle season is just a week away! It will be my first Midwest Whitetail hunt. I’m hoping the 168 acres of bottom land I bought in McIntosh county will not disappoint. My game camera traffic is way down; maybe the feeder quit working again :-(. My collection of deer-worthy rifles is small. For the ground blind near a corn broadcast feeder and a couple of tree-mounted block feeders, I’m thinking to use a .300 BLK bull pup (Tavor with a 1-8 Vortex Razor LPVO) after some quick and stealthy feeder and camera maintenance, and perhaps throwing down some attractant. That rifle should work good within the confines of a blind, and likely won’t doom me to tracking much at those distances. When I can’t stand the blind anymore, or the wind is wrong, I’ll quietly walk the pecan/oak/walnut groves along wet weather creek beds looking for deer and sign (and wishing RM was there to teach me his secrets). I plan on carrying my 6.5 CM then (Tikka with a nice Vortex 2-12). I have three ponds to check and the forested shoreline of about 10 acres of Lake Eufaula backwater on the property. All the time, I’ll be looking for a better place to put my broadcast feeder (after getting 1000 lb of corn out of it) and/or where to put a really big gravity protein feeder. For the Coues deer my son and I have taken, 6.5 CM is always a bang-flop situation. I like them to drop where shot, but I think I’ll leave my .300 WinMag (Rem 700 5R) in AZ. Sound like a plan?
