Shoot for me opening day was back on 10 August.  Hunting is generally over by third week of September.  It's never a question what to take.  My Handi in 30-06 always goes.  Now sometimes I take another gun for shooting long distances, but the Handi is always there as back-up.  

BTW, I shot a Moose Last Sunday night with my Handi, special late season Cow Hunt.  Partner had shot it but hit it too high.  Moose fell, but got up and ran.  As it was going into the trees it made a fatel mistake.  It stopped and looked back.  I put one right between the eyes.

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Horton xbow for deer bow season.
Ohio gun season opener: either the S&W 357 mag pistol or my Handi 20 ga. Topper- my goal for this year is to get one of two tags filled with the pistol.
Ohio ML will be the Handi Sidekick.

Hunt safe everyone! and good luck.

     .45-70 H&R, 300 Grain Remington, 35.8 gr IMR 4198 @ something like 1600 fps, alternating with the 336 .35 Rem with 200 gr Sierras, 39 gr Varget @ 2114 fps...bang, flop in both cases.

 More than one Yankee is reading his his post, but I've done a fair bit of travelling in my day. Whenever I meet someone away from New York and they ask me why I don't have an accent. I tell them I'm from a town in upstate N.Y. where the cows outnumber the people.
 Opening day for early smoke pole was Saturday, and we had the tail end of a nor-easter blowing out. Heading back up to camp on 10/29 thats when the 45-70 Manlicher will get the call.
Good luck everyone

Smaller than we think!!  ;D  One of Butch's sons had the scoped Handi, shot at a gator and missed it by 3 feet, the narrator called it a 444 Magnum, I thought maybe is was a 44 Mag, but the rounds in the butt cuff looked way too long.
