I have not "hunted" since the early 90's, not into it. That said; I do have a hunting rifle in the arsenal, a Rem 870 BDL in 30.06 for two reasons, 1) Handed-over from my father - sentimental and 2) I do like occasionally blasting 30.06 lead down-range, I like the kick-factor. I don't shoot it much these days but I try to maintain some skill/experience with it...ya' never know.

Besides...damn...a 30.06 in the safe is...well..."a requirement" if you are over 40...right?
