[QUOTE="tulsanewb, post: 1872888, member: 2133"] I appreciate all the responses! Last weekend I went to one of the public hunting grounds and just walked around. I saw about 5 deer in about an hour of walking and found a few bedding down spots. I was pretty happy with this, though I know by rifle season they will be much more skiddish and all spots I found are likely to be over-run by others. But it was still very exciting to follow a few instincts and each time stumble upon a deer. Right now I feel that pulling the trigger would be the hardest part as I am a sucker for cute animals by nature. However, if I can pull the trigger than I would be okay with field dressing I think. Butchering I want to do myself (though I am concerned I would screw up and waste meat, something I would not be okay with). I also have a vehicle problem ( I only have a car, but may rent a truck or something). I went ahead and took a couple weekdays off from work for the season though. I know this is a bad question to ask but what caliber would everyone recommend? I have a 7mm Rem Mag that I am a decent shot with, but I am debating another deer rifle (mostly an excuse to buy another) in 6.5 creedmoore (would be a long range gun in addition to deer gun), a .260, or .270. Any opinions? Or should I stick with the 7mm bruiser? I reload so ammo is not much of a factor. As a self-motivator and fun aside I would love any venison recipes anyone has to share! [/QUOTE]
