I've had this conversation at least 5 different times on different forums... No one I know likes the 30-30 up in MN and no one I know hunts with one anymore. The deer are quite big up there.

I would rather hunt with a spear than a .30-30. I know there are a million people that disagree with me but I hunted for 2 years with one and I killed 5 deer with it. I don't like it.

Deer Hunting since 1999 (Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Montana Antelope)

Marketing Guy in Chicago but grew up in Indiana/ Ball State.. blah blah blah.
