dull your brass for hunting

RE: dull your brass for hunting
In all the years I've hunted with my Hawkins.. I never found the shine off the brass as a problem. In fact I keep the brass on my rifles shined to a high gloss. I'm not even sure if the animals I hunt have ever noticed. I've shot a lot of deer with Hawkins. Although my Renegades have no brass parts and they are my favorite rifle.

Easy - I use a Renegade... well actually I did, but I do often usea hawken the brass is darken just from age but other than that nothing special. Just plain movement is a bigger problem for me than the brass patch box ornose piece. We do not use tree stands here, mostly we are moving on the ground ourselves, trying to stalk the animals or post up at a crossing.
