How many different rifles do you use during a season?

- Start date
Bow season opens Oct. 15 here in Alabama and runs through Jan. I hunted with my Barnett crossbow until the muzzleloader season opened on Nov. 16. I then switched to my NEF .50 caliber muzzleloader. Regular gun season opened on Nov. 21 so at that point I switched to my NEF .30-06. I didn't kill anything with the crossbow or muzzleloader. So far I have killed a five point buck (would have been six point if he hadn't broken off part of his right antler) with the '06.
All of our seasons run through Jan. so I hope to get at least one more deer. I have been thinking I might try to knock one down with my 1873 Winchester in .38-40.

Started as a youngster with .30-30, then went 8mm Mauser and never turned back. 
I carry either my K98 Euro sporter or Remington 700 Classic in 8mm for deer, although I've always wanted a Sako in the ~7mm bore range, which I plan to get for next season. Would also like to pickup a CZ 550 in .308.

Today was the last day of deer season down here in louisiana and I pulled my seasonal log book to mark down what was killed with which guns. Here's a list of guns used in no particular order.
H&R 35 whelen
Winchester mod 70 fw 308
Winchester mod 70 fw 7mm-08
Winchester supergrade 338 winmag
Weatherby mark V 300 weatherby mag
Remington 700 30-06
Remington 742 30-06
Browning abolt 2 300 wsm
Sako forester 243
Winchester ext weather 264 winmag
Needless to say I didn't score with each of these but they did get out atleast once. Next year I will use some others.

well it changes every year.
last year I harvested both whitetail and elk with an AR15 in 6.5 grendel. in addition to the grendel I proceeded to hunt deer with a 6.5 swedish mauser, and an sks. turkey were hunted with a mossberg 535 shotgun and grouse with a ruger 10/22.
the year prior to that was nearly identical with the exception that I didn't have a chance to harvest an elk and I didn't use the swedish mauser.
year prior to that, I harvested a black bear with a type 44 arisaka carbine, an elk with a 300 weatherby, a deer with a 9mm, turkey with the same shotgun, grouse with the same 10/22 as well as other grouse with a 44 mag...
this next year I will likely be hunting with an ar15 in 7.62x39mm with the SKS as backup, and a remington 700 in 243 and possibly a M1 garand for elk.

My go-to rifle case this last year had an iron sight 303 and a scoped 30-06 in it.
