What will you use for deer season this year??

last couple of years have been one of my bolt actions in 30/06 , but this year i wanted to do something different, so i built a 6.8 AR specifically for hunting the wooded and brushy areas back home in South Dakota and also for the mountains in AZ that have thick scrub oak and shots ranging from mere feet to across canyons.

i just finished up an AR in 6.8 SPC and my daughter will be using that (I already bagged a buck during archery season and AZ only allows 1 deer per year :( )..

latest 6.8 SPC II build (red dot is being replaced with a nikon 3-9x40 for deer season)

Lauer Lower with RRA 2 stage trigger set at 3.4 lbs, ERGO sure grip, DPMS block off plate with dual sided mount points, Magpul CTR Stock, H carbine buffer, and a black hawk 2 point sling for now

Upper is Aero Precision with M4 cuts, tmarked and has a nice american flag on the rear (covered by the BUIS), PRI big latch on the charging handle, DPMS free float rifle length forend, YHM gas block with flip up sight, magpul BUIS, m16 carrier, WOA bolt, BHW stainless (blasted to satin) 18" HBAR with 1:10 twist and 5r (enfield) rifling and SPC II chamber with m4 ramps and rifle length gas, BHW dragons head muzzle brake and of course a DPMS rifle length tube.

Marlin 30AS in .30-30. Depending on how thick the brush is, I may take my Rossi 92 in .357.

If I see any boar/pig sign, I'll go back out w/my Mossberg 590A1, loaded up with slugs.
 
Well bow season opens first so i will be using my golden eagle mossy oak 32 Then when rifle rolls around I will bust out the M1A scout squad in .308! I used the tikka 7mm last year and worked great but I like to switch it up!
 
For bow season, I will be shooting a Bear Super Kodiak Magnum 63lb recurve, with white fletched ash arrows tipped with a Wensel Woodsman Broadhead.

Next will be doe season, with a rifle, so I will take a Krag-Jorgenson carbine, in 30-40 krag.(open sights)

For early muzzleloader season my .54 cal sharps will be with me.

Rifle season is next, and I will be taking my 760 gamesmaster in .35 rem, with 150 grain core lokt bullets. I have a Leupold 2-7 on it.

Lastly, I will be taking my TC Hawkin Flint lock for the after Christmas "Primitive weapons season"(I never understood why they consider a compound bow a primitive weapon???????)

As you can see, I like to make hunting harder, as if its not hard enough already!!!
Bye for now, Antique Shooter
 
Muzzle Loader season will be my CVA .50 cal

Will be getting my new Savage 10FP in the mix this year for some moderate range shots.

Will step up to the Winchester Model 70 in 7mm REM MAG for open agriculture fields down here in costal NC & the old reclaimed strip mines up in South Eastern KY.

My Winchester Model 70 in 30.06 will be my primary go to gun.

My Marlin .444 will be used in dense swap type areas where the close in shot is the norm.

I will be using the CVA .50 cal muzzle loader & Mossberg 500 w/ rifled barrel for huntin on base.
 
7600 REM PUMP in 270 on the flats. REM 700 CUSTOM 300WM IN THE MTS.
SAIGA 308 IN THE SWAMP.& 454CASULL for them Bears in the tent:eek::eek:
 
Ole betsy for me - Ruger in 30-06. Although I am putting together a new toy, doubt itll be ready for hunting though...:(
 
I have a faithful order of rotation that if I deviate from, I am most sure I will be punished by some power, somewhere (LOL).

So, therefore, with a degree of reluctance (because it is probably the least versatile in the fold) for this year, it is the 12 Ga. Rem. 1100, fully rifled slug barrel.

I simply cannot hurt any of my best friends feelings.

'Nuff said.

Weapons for deer

Fellow Deer Killers:
Mostly I'll bow hunt with my truth II. If I pull a firearm tag I'll use a 50 cal traditions muzzle loader, and back that up with a 44 cal Raging Bull with scope. Sorry I don't have pics.
Live well, be safe.

LONG season

Our deer season will run over 100 days if you're a bow hunter. Gun only will go about 75. They run concurrently, so one can bow hunt the whole season if you choose. Two deer a day in many counties, only one antlered animal in the pair.

I'll bowhunt plenty, taking advantage of lower hunter pressure, bow only areas once the gun season starts. A Matthews FX and an old PSE Coyote (Dad's bow) for that.

No telling with what rifles I'll hunt. Hadn't killed a deer w/ grandad's m88/.308 in a long time. The Ruger .44 auto carries so easy, it'll hunt some for sure, always does. I've got a nifty post reticle in the Savage scout now, and have not taken a deer w/ since the change from a duplex. I keep threatening to kill a deer w/ a handgun, maybe the Glock 20/10mm? And I really want to see the faces of the guys at the check station when I pull up w/ a deer and the commie PSL/Romak3 Drag lookalike. I better take one w/ the old Rem 14 .30 Rem pump before my eyes get any worse too!

Dang season is still not long enough!!!!!!!!!!!
 
stainless and grey laminate ruger hawkeye 300 win mag w/ nikon 4-12x50 scope. have not shot it yet but will be sighting it in this weekend
 
I'm starting the season with my Ruger #1 in 45-70 and after that my Browning ShortTrac in 308 Winchester. Need to set a final zero for the Browning though.
 
NY State = Mossberg 500 12 gauge with 24" rifled barrel and Leupold M8 4X.

If successful in NY, PA = Ruger Redhawk .44 mag with Leupold 2X.
If NOT successful in NY, PA = Remington Modely 7 .308 with Leupold 2-7X.
