Awesome! that sounds great. I really cant wait to do some serious deer hunting again. Are the whitetail really that small out there? I have great news too. I get to use some of my future wedding money to buy a new deer gun and scope :drool: anybody shoot the remington 700? Or the Remington AR?  Am I really missing out if i dont buy a Luepold? I have a couple Nikons.... How are thos DOA recticles? Will I get allot of use out of my Range finder I spent my allowance on? Or what about my little 15 foor ladder stand, hows that going to work out there.

The Remington 700 is a good choice, I wouldn't personally use an AR for big game. Leupolds are nice, but Nikon makes a decent scope too. You will use your range finder out here, the different types of terrain can make judging range difficult. Stands work well for blacktails. Welcome, hope to see you on the site a lot.

I dont want to give anyone the wrong idea but when I said AR I meant the larger calibers.

I knew what you meant, I'm personally not a fan of the AR platform for hunting. I like my hunting rifles to look like hunting rifles.

Hoosier has landed. (after the 3000 + mile drive ) Instead of the 700 I picked up the Marlin XL7 in .270. Awesome gun by the way if anyone is looking for a good shooter for a fair price! Still looking for some Ideas for a scope on my new 270, does anybody have any good suggestions?I am trying to get my feet wet by talking to everyone I can about hunting when it comes up. turns out redmond is not that kind of place.  :'( I did get the heads up from a buddy that I can hunt the base in Ellensburg. Anybody know the area? I have a free pass in my walet with my picture on it that will get me on but dont know if its worth going down there for? so far everyone had told me something else on were too head. Cascades, island, out east? Can anyone narrow it down more??? I remember all the new guys that would come to my work in Maine asking me about places to hunt and fish. Is there any place out here where people can go that is normal?
