I'm so excited for western deer rifle season to start! I went and sighted in about two weeks ago, got em shooting real straight ;) I've been shooting non stop. I had so much fun getting my first deer last year. I'm going to be using my Mauser 22-250, with 55 gr round nose. I will also use that old 30-40 krag for elk if are plans stay the same :cool:

Would be cool to tell me about your upcoming hunts and what your weapon of choice is ;)
 
I am ready but I have to wait until November the 8th for opening day (whitetail season) of black powder. Weapon of choice for that will be a .50 CAL. T/C Omega loaded with 295 GR. powerbelt bullets. As far as I am concerned that week will be real active and the deer will not be too spooked. The following week will be first week of either sex rifle season and I should have the Rem. Model 700 XCR in 30.06 along for that action. Last year I did get a nice 9 point with the smoke pole so this year I hope things are better.
Wished it would hurry and get here, the nights are getting cooler (upper 40's) and my neck is swelling.......:eek:
 
My first deer will be with the Marlin 336c in .30-30 spittin' out cheapo winchester 160 grain jacketed. With any luck I will then remove the scope which was on it when I traded my Lorcin .380 for it and try for an iron sight deer kill. I will then move to the 12 gauge Maverick 88 with 28 inch barrel using either slugs or 00buck not sure which yet. For deer number four I will fire up the Mossberg 500 20 gauge with 18 inch barrel using slugs. Then I will settle in to the rest of the season with the Marlin and 20 mostly as i will be settling into the swamps for a more challenging stalk. I will also be targeting hogs as opportunity and sign presents itself. Hogs kind of rule out the use of 00 buck. With food prices what they are I need to harvest several hundred pounds of wrapped meat for myself and others.

I have a freind here in VA that wanted to use his 22-250 but here we can't use a caliper that small for big game, guess they don't feels it large enough for deer and been that way forever or as long as I can remember.
 
Our firearms season starts mid Nov. I am using my Mossy 500 for opening day(more shells) Where we live it is a war zone, and the deer are running everywhere.
Second day will be H&R Utra slug 20(with bull barrel) or H&R .44 mag. Have not decided yet. Will probably decide after the kids pick thru the safe.
I will probably carry my T/C Contender .357 with 158 grainers for the confused deer that walks under my stand:)

The weather is cooling off. The Ammo is piling up. The kids are getting anxious. Season can not get here soon enough:)

We start in Kentucky on November 9th. Not sure what gun I'm going to use, either my Savage 7mm Rem Mag or my Ruger No. 1 in 45-70. I'm leaning towards the Ruger but may take the 7mm at least once.

I've got the first 3 days of the week off so I'll be hunting the first 5 days of the season non-stop. Pretty excited.
