    I normally don’t do this

    Normally I just jump right in and start posting but I’ll start here first.

    I’m sitting in my camper while it’s raining and figured after 4 years of lurking on and off I should register. I’m in the Driftless Region. My land and my parent’s farm are adjacent to each other. 200 acres of land that’s hard to hunt for deer because of terrain. Wife and daughter hunt this property also.

    I’m honestly here mainly for the 223 thread and there also doesn’t seem to be too many “should I buy a 6.5” threads, thank god LOL.

    Welcome aboard
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Poachers don’t care. Found 4 dead deer in 3 years. A couple of years ago I found a big body with the head missing in the neighbors field. They called the DNR. Eventually the poachers were caught. I found a carcass in the woods last year so someone has been back at it.
