Thanks for the extra info Darrell. I've been looking at the A-frame to try, and have been wondering if they are truly that much better than the xtp. I'm doing well, albeit too busy with work. I did get 2 deer with my 44, 2 weeks ago Friday. No luck with finding the buck that's making so many rubs near my hunting spot yet. Good luck to you in the area you're scouting now! I'm looking forward to another hunting success post from the N Ga mountains. How has the cohutta wilderness fire affected the hunting up there?
