45/70 of course! Will take out any critter here at reasonable range.

This is actually a pretty decent poll. Nice to see a good one instead of all the bear defense craziness.

I'll be using my 375 Taylor for everything.

 

[RobSmith]

has to be a toss up between 303 brit and 30-06 in terms of sheer popularity ...

 

[Ducimus]

Where's 30-30

 

[BC Bigbore]

The .308 & .30-06 will likely be the most popular choices although I don't have plans to use either this fall.

 

[todbartell]

Where's 30-30

there's only room for 10 options

 

[Big Game]

How can you ask me to pick just one? It's like trying to go fishing with just one rod in the boat!

300WSM for the bulk of the work, 45-70 may see some time afield as well.

 

[MapleSugar]

If I hunt this year, it will be with my LH Rem 700 BDL in .30-06.

 

[catnthehatt]

6.5X55 is my hunting rifle, but I own four 308's....

[Rocks]

270wsm for sheep, goat, wt, bb and maybe elk, and 7rm for moose.

 

[Thad]

.243 for Island deer, .30-06 for Interior deer

I just bought a Kimber 8400 Montana in 300 WSM with Talleys and a B&C Leupold 3.5-10x40. Was looking for a good go anywhere work horse rifle and this thing fell in my lap for a song (good friends are great). It is likely to see the most use, with the new 6.5x47 Lapua getting all the prairie action.

 

[sgt.rock]

My big ass .338 for everything. Just gonna have different loads to deal with size differentials in animals. Gonna be using 180 gr for caribou, 225 for black bear and 250 hopefully for moose. But any of these sizes of bullets will work for either type of animal. So I wont be terribly upset if I grab the wrong clip, and pop an animal mistakenly with a 250 instead of a 225 or 180. Dead is dead, and I have only 3 days to go for Blackie season. YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!

 

[gallen270]

my staple is my .270 w/ a 4x glass, but i always bring my 30-30 to camp as a backup or brushgun
