Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all you Alaskan's.   
 I will be leaving on the 27th for a deer hunt in the sound for four days.  It is not an easy task planning such a trip.  Do I take the .35 Whelen?  Which one?  How about the .243, .308 or the 30/30.  Will probaby end up with one of the .35's and the .308 this trip.
I will let everyone know how the trip went when I return.
