Been a avid whitetail hunter all my life. I'm using a Winchester Model 70 .280 Remington with 165 grain Core Lokts. Any tips would be appreciated.

It can either be zero degrees and snowing, 50 degrees, or 75 degrees and sunny. If you haven't already make sure you're feet and boots match and that you've been wearing them
