Being as stealthy as possible while moving through hunting grounds is essential. If you're still trying to hunt through potential bedding areas, closing in on game you spotted from afar, trying to sneak to your tree stand for a sit, or you're tracking bucks as they do in New England, every noise you make is too much.

Zeroing a traditional 30-30 load at 160-yards maximizes point blank range, but a 50-yard zero might be more effective in tight cover where shots are no farther than 120 yards. Sight-in high at 100 yards for most versatility.
