Who's hunting with what this year?

I dunno yet.  For our Northern Zone in NY rifle is allowed and that limits me to one of 3 444 Winchesters, a Yugo 8mm, a 303 Brit, a 6.5 Swede or a Winchester 06.  In Southern Zone it is strictly shotgun and pistol, which limits me to 12 guage, 44 and 357 magnums.  So many choices and so few permits.  Mikey.

A 50 cal Early Lancaster flintlock muzzleloader that I just built this summer.  

I've sold my 30-06, and I'm bored with my 243 Browning A-bolt cause it just shoots sub-MOA all day long... no challenge to it anymore.

I'm tellin' all my hunting buddies that I'm gonna go through the ALL of the seasons, early muzzleloader, regular "rifle season", and the late flintlock season with my Early Lancaster...  

Most of the fellows are laughing at me!

Matthews Legacy bow Easton 2216 and Muzzy 125 gr. broadheads.  For bow season my son is using a PSE.

Encore Muzzle loader 50 cal, Muzzleloading season and my son has a Knight 50 cal.

Shiloh Sharps 45-70 with Black powder and paper patch and my son is using a H&R 20 gauge slug barrel. Delaware is a Shotgun only state but this year allows a Shiloh Sharps with black powder and paper patch bullets. And I will switch off with my Remington 1100 12 gauge slug gun.

I wish they would open a handgun season. :(

So much load development to do and so little time.  I need to get a load put together for my T/C Renegade (.54 cal) for the early muzzleloader season coming up on a couple weeks.  I also need to spend a little time with my 700 Mountain Rifle, chambered in 7mm/08.  I call it "old homicide".  I always put together some fresh loads for it each year whether I hunt with it or not.  I would like to hunt at least one day with a Longbranch No. 4 mk I Enfield in .303 British.  I don't know if that will happen or not.  I have a '94 Winchester Trapper chambered in .30-30 that I would like to hunt one day with, and with a few crop damage tags, sneaking in a day to hunt with each of these might not be outside the realm of possibility.  Oh, and I have a model 57 Smith and Wesson in .41 magnum that I would really like to take a deer with. Just not enough time in the day for all I want to experiment with.
When it comes time to shoot, SHOOT.  Don't talk.

And last night, I was hunting with a '98 Buick. Almost got two for one, one of them had a rack, and five miles later, I got a chance at a 'coon too!

For ohio bow & gun season I use a PSE Fire flight Express.
& A 444 marlin in a TC encore.
I got a seven point Friday morning.
Now if I get a doe with a bow I will tag along with Dad during gun season using a panasonic mini dv. It has a little less recoil than the 444. He He !
