I'm a Wyoming/plains guy. Talk to me about this subject.
I hope to get a younger deer for meat. I plan on using my friend's 10 acres (got permission already) to hunt on. I would prefer doing the bare minimum myself (gutting and bleeding out) and simply dropping the carcass off at a butcher with my requirements on meat cuts made ahead of time. I assume I'll need a stand and several early mornings scouting. I have a hair bit of camouflage clothing and understand about scent reduction. Due to the nature of the terrain, I doubt I would get more than a 100 yard shot in distance. I plan to use my 20" .308 Remmy 700 with a 3-9x.
