First it will be a .50 cal Lyman Deerstalker and round balls, for it's 12th season. Then I will bring out my sportered Turkish mauser, for its second year.

First with my Compound bow and then with a .270!!!

In CT, a 20 ga remington 870 express with a smoothbore barrel and a screw-in rifled remchoke. Then up in Maine my Marlin 336 in .35 Remington.

Well, my 7mmBRM (Encore barrel) should be here in a couple weeks. I plan on using it, ain't decided on the bullet. More than likely a 140 gr. NP or X. Have see what the barrel likes

For gun season I am thinking the Encore rifle 7M-08. Later on it will be the Encore in its muzzleloader function. Oh yeh!

TScottO · « **Reply #6 on:** August 04, 2003, 05:01:20 PM »

475 Linebaugh five shooter, Ruger No. 1 7mm Magnum, and an Encore Muzzleloader. This will be my first deer with a 475 I'm anxious as all get out

Next year I hope to add a bow and put apistol grip and 308 chambering on my Encore.

Good luck and be safe.

JIMI havent narrowed it down yet, may use a couple that I havent used in a few years, but I can be sure a few days will be spent with the model 7 in 7-08 close by.

Moose: Remington 7600 in .35 Whelen with a BLR in .358 Winchester as backup.

Deer: The BLR will become No 1, with either a Globco 555 in .303 British or a Remington 760 in .35 Remington as backup.

For Me,it depends onhealth and fitness.
If I'm up to snuff,I'll be using my little Winchester '94;30/30 carbine.
If I feel that I need all the help that I can get,it will be my Springfield Krag;30/40.

Hoyt bow and a Remington Sendero 25.06 rifle

Skeezix · « **Reply #20 on:** August 08, 2003, 09:27:48 AM »

Old model Ruger M-77 Ultra Light in .250 Savage, old model Ruger M-77R in .280 Rem., and Win 70 Classic Stainless in .308 Win., depending on mood, weather, and terrain. During muzzleloader season it will be a T/C Omega .50 in Missouri and a T/C Renegade .54 in Alabama. And I might even dig out the Ruger #1S in .45-70. :-) My son will be using his beautiful FN Mauser sporter in .270 Win.

JACKNZ · « **Reply #21 on:** August 08, 2003, 12:12:17 PM »

Seeing as I hunt year round I will continue to use my long bow for goats,rabbits,turkeys,hares.My Sako,REM,Brno,all in .308 for deer,Plus I will probably take one of my 6.5x55 mausers for a walk.I am looking at buying a 7mm or .270 for long range shooting at Deer,Chamois an Thar.
An then there is bird shooting,Ducks,Phesant,Quail,Peacock,Goose.
I might even find some time to get some fishing in,but you don,t want to start me on that.CHEERS,,,Jack.

varmint101 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 09, 2003, 10:07:41 AM »

Well, I'll start with the squirrles in another week and other small game later with my 20 gauge Remington Wingmaster. Probably some early season waterfowling with my Mossberg pump 12ga. Coyotes with a Rem. 700 .243BDL, and Deer with my Buckmaster bow, .270Win. 15" Encore, and Lyman 54 cal Deerstalker...then later again with my bow haha. Gotta love large deer populations. Regards,

Matt

labsrule · « **Reply #23 on:** August 09, 2003, 01:48:09 PM »

CT will be 11-87 scoped with Remington 12 ga Core-Lokt.
Maine will use Remington mod 700 in 7mm-08 some days.... and either a Ruger SBH .44 Mag or a Dan Wesson .45 Colt on other days. Why, because I'm wishy-washy and I can't make up my mind.

Good hunting to all and have a safe hunt.

Miller · « **Reply #24 on:** August 11, 2003, 10:23:25 AM »

For mule deer and elk ot will be a Rifles Inc. Rem.6.5X55. For coyotes a T/C Contender in .22Mag.

willis5 · « **Reply #25 on:** August 12, 2003, 09:56:24 AM »

I would go bare handed, but I can't find that season in the regulations anywhere...

Dragon31 · « **Reply #26 on:** August 13, 2003, 04:36:55 AM »

I hunt three different states with three different sets of rules on what kind of guns can be used. This is what I have planned at the present?

PSE bow during bow season or I may use my old recurve Ben Pearson fiber glass.
Ruger #1, 300 mag. for general gun season.
Remington Sendero, .270 for the Bean Fields.
Encore 20 ga for slug gun only state.
Savage 10ML, 50 cal. during Muzzle only season.
Ruger .44 Super Blackhawk Hunter goes in my pack for states that allow two guns to be carried at the same time.
Contender .357 Max, 14 inch barrel for hand gun only hunting trip.

ahunter55 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 25, 2003, 03:22:32 AM »

My 46th year in Bowhunting-60 pound Darton with Arrows tipped with a Rocky Mountain 3 Blade 125 gr. Razor-same head since they came on the market in the 70s. Has done a number on Bear, Caribou, Elk, Deer, Wild Hogs & many others over the years.
good luck to all this season.

bigdog270 · « **Reply #28 on:** August 25, 2003, 02:29:34 PM »

im going to start with my 50 cal cva optima then on to my con10der 45-70and finish the year with my buckskinner flinter.

flatlander · « **Reply #29 on:** August 26, 2003, 07:13:19 AM »

This year I'm leaving the 7 mag and the 25-06 home and I'm taking nothing but the contender pistol in either 7x30 or 30-30. I didn't draw a buck tag, and figured I'll make it a more challenging hunt since we usually end up with no less than 100 yd shots.
