I'm an old guy, but I get out into the woods daily checking hog traps and such. I do the daily thing just to make me get my butt up out of a recliner and keep moving, and as such I'm up really early every day and out of the house by sunrise. Occasionally I'm out there in the middle of the night too....watching for hogs to pop.
I have found that with my shooting and hunting hobbies, I have accumulated probably too many guns for an average guy. I have lots of lever actions...from 73' Winchesters, 92' Winchesters, and newer stuff and just pick up whatever grabs my attention when leaving the house.
I've owned a lot of bolt actions over the years, but when I decide to go deer hunting, it's usually one of the Rugers. The shiny super pretty rifles don't interest me much anymore...I just want something that shoots where it should, and a couple of Rugers in 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Creedmore both shoot under an inch. They might not be the prettiest, but they are virtually tools of the trade !
