Whitetail - Well, I'm going 2 ways here. I've got 2 locations I'm going to this year. For the first location (all wooded) I'm using a Remington Model 7 .260 with 3-10x40 Weaver. For the second location (many fields) I'm using a Tikka T3 Lite .243 with 4.5-10x40 Nikon.

Small Game - That would be a Marlin Model 60, open sights.

Crowes - Remington 870 Express Magnum.

Coyotes and the occasional long range crow - Tikka .243.

Would like to mulie or elk hunt, but unfortunately, there aren't any here.

Newt

too many cases of cronic wasting in this area,no meat huntin this year,it's varmits/predators with rimfires till next season.

Just Whitetail

- Martin Magnum at 60lbs. with Thunderhead 125GR broadheads (Oct 15 till the last possible day).

When not bow hunting:
-Ruger Super Redhawk .44 MAG with 240GR JHP's 1xTasco Scope
-Knight Disc Extreme .50 Call 2-9X Bushnell 180GR HP with 150GR Pyrodex
-Winchester 1300 12GA with Federal Classic Slugs (Barnes EXpanders)

When all is quiet and I'm the only one at camp (in firearms season) I'll either bowhunt (from a tree) or still hunt (usually gun sometimes bow). I rarely sit in a tree with a gun because it seems too easy.

I always carry the SRH in Firearms season, usually exclusively. I'll be sitting on some large hayfields with the muzzleloader in the late season. The shotgun has lost my interest in the last few years.

Sometimes I wish I could use my M94 .30-30 in the NYS Southern Zone.

What will you be using

Whitetail deer - my bow. I almost had a nice big doe earlier today.

Elk - my bow

Bear - Marlin guide gun 45/70

Bow: Mountain Hunter #80lb. Compound Mfg. for Gander Mtn. by Cabela's carbon arrows w/100 gr. Satellite broadheads.

Gone hunting for blacktail deer, cougar, bear, and grouse, and so far this year I have only gotten a grouse. Almost zapped a doe today, but the backstop for the arrow was a little questionable, so I didn't shoot.

Gun(s): Browning A-Bolt II Stainless Stalker in .300 Win. Mag. loaded with 180 gr. Barnes X-Bullets.

Gone cougar and bear hunting with it for a grand total of 2 days so far this year. Haven't seen either a bear or cougar yet.

Winchester Model 1895 (1923 vintage) in .405 W.C.F. Loaded with 350 gr. Barnes X-Bullets.

I Will be taking it, and the A-Bolt (the '95 doesn't go out in bad weather) with me when I go elk (plus any incidental bear/cougar/grouse) hunting later this fall.

Ruger Single-Six convertible (I mostly use the .22 Mag. cylinder) as a sidearm on all but the archery hunts.

Glock 29 w/ 180 gr. HPs in the event that a two-legged varmint needs plugging at a Stop & Rob, ATM, restaurant, etc...while on the way to and from the mountains.

30-06 in a Ruger #1 or a 6.5x55 Swedish semi custom Mauser.
