Put a brake on it and you'll actually enjoy the rifle and you'll get more range time. I wear these on my hat while I hunt. Takes 1/2 second to pop on.

Scouting has been by preferred method to stay in good shape this year. I have two buck tags, one antelope tag, and an elk tag so I have plenty of areas to lock down. Elk scouting is the most fun so that has been my priority. I have 14 different bulls on two cameras about 1 mile apart from each...
I use calcium hypochlorite...you can literally have a white and clean skull in one day. Potent stuff. You still will need to do some detail work around the antlers because you can only get it so close.
