I enjoy the winter too, but it can be a bit tough going if you aren’t alpine experienced, because they are very high then.

If a trophy is really important to you a big banger that will reach out will be an advantage, but the downside is you will find that the number of animals you can’t recover will increase.

Here’s a typical east coast spring hunt. A lot steeper than it looks though:

that's going to offend the bullshitter's and know all internet expurts and the anti anything under 7mm brigade.
