What are you hunting with this year?

[v8stang289]

Remington 700 in .270 win and an older PSE Nova bow

 

[2ndtimer]

The shorter better .270

I used my Model 70 Super Shadow in .270WSM to take a nice 4 pt whitetail buck and a young whitetail doe in Montana a couple of weeks ago. Handload consisted of 130 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip, 64.0 gr of Accurate Data 86 Extruded (cannister version of their 3100 powder, slightly quicker burning), Winchester Large Rifle Magnum primer, new Winchester brass. Velocity around 3100 fps.

 

[TexasPatriot.308]

whatever looks good in my safe, but no mags or super mags, dont need them, favorites are .308, 7mm-08, 6.5x55 and .22-250. bet I am a better shot than those "hunters" flinching when they pull the trigger on a mag or a wsm.

 

[carlo1776]

30-30 for dogin and the 308 for sitting. We have some monster white tails up here.

 

[USAF_Vet]

I'll be hunting with my 12 gauge and my muzzle loaded for southern lower Michigan. Not comfortable enough with the bow just yet. If I go up to northern lower MI, I'll take my scouterized M-44.
Looking into handgunning laws for deer, since I want to carry a legal sidearm. Looks like my 9 round .45 would be legal to carry into the field and legal to harvest a deer with.

 

[sugarmaker]

.375 HH Abolt stalker, leupold 1-4, 300 gr seirra sbt at 2650. Heck, why not?? From prior experience, it damages no more meat than any other rifle I own. Plus it's fun to hear the cartridges thunk into the chamber.

 

[tarosean]

Nothing....

Stuck in Saudi Arabia. Not interested in hunting Camels or feral Cats.

 

[MCgunner]

Not even close to a comprehensive caliber list, but I checked front stuffer. Killed my first muzzleloader buck Wednesday. Been butchering, today, and need to go buy some sage and pepper corns for the sausage.

 

[Flintknapper]

Depends on what I am hunting, but in general……..

7mm-08 for the little ones:






.458 SOCOM for the big ones:

 

[Cleburne]

Browning A-bolt composite stalker in .270 wsm.

 

[Bobson]

Wow. That second picture with a .223 round sitting on a .458 really puts things in perspective. Can't quite think of the right word, but impressive continues to come to mind.

Compound bow for me, btw. I know I'll get into rifles sooner or later, but I'm really enjoying archery for now.

Most folks get into archery because rifles get boring. You ain't missin' much by not shooting rifles. Bang or twang, it all brings home the venison. I haven't shot one with archery, yet. Maybe I will some day. I quite enjoy shooting my bows.

I checked multiple rifles/ shotgun/ & bow above, you missed the 7.62x54r... I want to try it on deer... It's close to 308 (which is 7.62 x 51), but different.

Our member in the arctic, Caribou, uses nothing but and his supper depends on it.

I taking my trusty 19-pound Remington M700 Police. It is chambered in .308 Win. After-market enhancement added by me (as set-up for the hunt) include the following: Bell & Carlson fully adjustable Tactical stock, 20 MOA Farrell picatinny rail, a Nightforce 3.5-15X56 Zero-stop scope, and Nightforce rings. I topped the package off with a Timney 1.5 pound trigger. With hand-loaded ammo, it has been grouping consistently at/below 0.75" at 300 yards, benched...which is how I hunt. Word has it at the family farm, that the deer have just filed a grievance claiming unfair advantage.

[trickyasafox]

357 magnum and 50 cal BP.

 

[altitude_19]

Same as OP: Savage 111 in .30-06. With 125 Gr Remington Core Lokt, I can get sub MOA with a $450 rifle. Not bad economics there.

 

[Caribou96]

Used a T/C Encore with a 21", 338 BR barrel to fill my buck tag this morning

 

[CSA 357]

[/URL][/IMG] 78 browning 45-70

I read Caribou's post often... Actually I think he uses .22 magnum on Caribou, while shooting from a moving boat... I think he took several herds this way (with a limit of 5 per person, and once he had his 5, he swapped the gun for a camera, and several other hunters took their 5) It's pure slaughter... I loved his video.

 

[MCgunner]

He has an affection for Mosin Nagant rifles in 7.62x54, also. Search it.

Here, here's a good one.....

[LOLBELL]

This year I'll be using a B92 in 44mag and a Super Blackhawk Hunter Bisley
for the close shots.

 

[Tpr0811]

My Model 70 Featherweightis (30-06) like an old friend. Can't stand to leave her behind when I go to the woods.

 

[DRYHUMOR]

M700 in 257 Roberts. It's already taken one this year...

 

[heeler]

Well this weekend I was using my Marlin 336 in 30-30 of course.
Being I was on a small ranch in a somewhat restricted county I helped the state and the landowner by eliminating one weird colored feral hog.
Almost a tiger stripe coloration.
Let a possible spike go because I could not make out what his left side antler looked like as it was the last ten minutes of legal shooting light and even though my excellent Pentax 8x42 binoculars focused on him well in the poor light at a 100 yard distance he was nose to the ground looking for a certain doe.
Less anyone thinks I was pursuing a trophy spike I have to again state I was in a Texas county that enforces antler restrictions.
In a couple of weeks it's time to take out the .243 and the .308.
