Hit em'hard

Cast in 7.7X58 and aught six using RD 165s, maybe RD 350s in the 45-70 RB.
Maybe some RCBS 200s or Lee 220 (If they will shoot with nose filed flat) in the 338.
Hate to carry lead projies as they seem to scare the deer away!
Coated 129 and 140 in the 6.5X257 go to gun!
150 and 165 coated in the coated projie 06.

At some point I'll be in the heavy timber with a Marlin 336 bored out to 38-55 with a cast 250 gr bullet running 1400 fps. In the more open terrain I'll probably use one of the 250-3000 rifles. The M99R 250 is in need of some hunting and the Ruger M77 Tang Safety is always ready. If I make it out during bow season it will be with a Mission cxb 320 Xbow
Big bore Gp100, 41 or 44 special. Rifle will be the NO1 in 7.62x39 first, then one with a Rem 141. May thake the 16ga out with slugs some too.
Forgot to add, I'm a copper free area, lead only.

Horton Crossbow ... used it on a doe already , may take 1 or 2 more does if I can get out enough
BFR Revolver in 45/70
Or a Marlin in 45/70 if the weather is rotten
LOL IF Needed ..... Then one of several 50 cal front stuffers with a Maxie ball in front of 100 gr of 2F

1885 Winchester 375 H&H with cast, 500 S&W Encore rifle with cast, or a 6.5 Grendel. It will depend on where I'm hunting.
Already took an 8 point, Thursday, with .54 caliber Renegade and patched round ball.
Been hunting with Mission X-bow, three weeks prior to. Rattled this guy in, couldn't get off a shot due to branches in the way.
Rut should be starting very soon, so it will be back out with X-bow.
Gun season (Nov. 10th), will be using 1894 Marlin 44 magnum with RCBS 300 SWC, hollow pointed by Eric.
Winelover
7 1/2" BFR in .475 Linebaugh. 395 gr. Accurate RF GC. 2X6 Bushnell Elite scope. I took 5 whitetails with it so far. If I can get my 14" Contender in .375 JDJ working in time with an Accurate boolit I'll try to take my doe with it.
Haven't made out the line-up yet, if I even go. Chemo is keeping me pretty knocked back. Whatever I decide to do the lead off will be my ever faithful "E. Goldmann in Erfurt" German double rifle in 11.15 X 60R. After that, who knows what whim might strike me? I almost always carry a different rifle every time I go so we'll just have to see.

M1895 Win, .30-40 cal, 215 grain Accurate grease groove bullet paper patched. So far, medium antelope buck at 159 yards, 1 shot to neck. Deer season starts next month. I can't seem to draw an elk but the 95 would/will suffice for them all.
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the trouble with many shooting experts is not that they're ignorant; its just that they know so much that isn't so.
Wicked ridge xbow for archery.
H&R/Marlin 45cal smokeless MZ for muzzleloader season
Glenfield 30a, rebarreled, rebored and chambered for 2.5" 410. JES rebore, 5 groove 1:22 twist. Launches a LWNPB 260g boolit at approx. 1,800 fps. Hot handoaded ammo.
Took a buck last weekend at an early lottery hunt. Cheated, used a RARR 450BM with a barnes xpb.

Last spring I bought a Henry Big Boy Steel in .44 magnum for cast shooting. It's ready and so am I .
Another year with my faithful little model 600 in 35 Rem shooting a 190 gr Ranchdog bullet . Back up plan for late season is the 50 cal flintlock .
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
In my county I will take my Mark X 30-06 with handloads of 311284 boolits. Still working on the right powder and charge. In Allegheny County, I will use my CVA in-line ML. No rifles in that county; archery, ML or shotgun only.

Same as every year
due to a severe injury which has made me a lefty for at least this season, it's going to be a single shot 12 ga. with one of my cast lead round baller's. lucky i'd already cast a supply of my .702 pure lead balls, as right now I can't cast at all. not a bad thumper to fall back on
NH it will be my Henry 45-70 open sites with 340Gr Lee Cast FN.
PA it will be the new (to me) Marlin 336 in 35 Rem (Sierra 200gr RN)
Looking forward to opening day in both states.

My opening day tradition is to hunt with a rifle I've yet to kill a deer with. It has broadened my experience and enjoyment. I'll wait for close shots on opening weekend. My 44-40 gets first crack at it, followed by the 38-55. But the .30 Carbine and .300 Blackout deserve a go as well. The others pictured are JIC season runs long and freezer is light on contents

Our archery season has come and gone, but I ended up harvesting a 6pt. with my Excalibur 380 ExoTrix. The Smoke Pole season is wrapping up and I've toted my T/C Encore 50 cal for it. For our gun season I'll be putting my newest eddition, 445 Super Mag 14" MGM barrel for my Encore to work with my 300gr. cast boolits from a Accurate 43-300CC mold over the top of 28gr. IMR 4227. After that there is no telling what may be out on critter patrol! Good luck and be safe to all this saeson. . .happy hunting.
I've got 6 tags to fill this firearm season. Will start with my old reliable Bubba'd No4 Mk1 303. If I'm fortunate enough to bag one early, I'll put my recently acquired K31 into the line up. My 4" 629 will be on my hip the whole season in the event any deer get up close and personal to one of my stands. Fingers crossed!
