very nice.

I have always wanted to go deer hunting, but I am more of a gun-guy. Went duck hunting a few times last season, and considered deer hunting with a slug in my 12-gauge, but should probably get a gun. I really want to hunt bears, so I would rather buy a bit bigger gun than one strictly for deer-hunting, but have been talked down from a .375 to a 30.06 by friends and family. The wife continues to give me the look like I'm nuts, which I probably am, but it's what I want to do.

What's deer season like there? I remember growing up in Louisiana, and having friends in Arkansas, it seemed like deer season lasted months. Out here, it's all lottery, you can only take one, and the season is very short.

Good luck. I expect pics.
