What's everybody carrying this season for whitetails?

Open country: Mossberg 100ATR in .30-06, 150gn GameKings
Closed country: Remington 799 in X39mm, 150gn GameKings
Backup: Savage 340 I bought last year with 165gn GameKings.
 
6.5x54 Man in a Carbine full stock MS when by myself, but when the nephew (12years old) is hunting with me we have his CZ 7.62x39 carbine out ready for him to take his first deer. Good luck to everyone, Dale Z!
 
Nice weather: winchester M70FW .280 rem, husqvarna 7x57, maybe my ruger No1A .257bob if I can find ammo
Rain: Remington M700 mountain 7mm-08
 
Winchester model 94 rifle in 32 sp with 24 inch barrel and a button magazine. Shot a nice muley with it last year, now would like to get a white tail with it.

Deer season is just around the corner here in Ontario. So what's everybody carrying this year? I'll get the ball rolling. I am taking a Winchester Model 88 carbine in .308 and a Remington 7600 in .35 whelen. I've been hunting deer for three years now with no success, so hopefully this is my year.

lilsurfer, Good luck to you! I hope this is your year. :)

Mine is either a Winchester model 70 Featherweight in .270, or a Browning Stainless Stalker in .375 H&H. I'm going to carry both.
 
Sako 85 Finnlight 30-06 with a Leupold VX-R 3-9 40mm, shooting remington 168gr premier core lokt ultra bonded. Going to the range tommorow to zero it in and maybe bust some clays too
 
Giving a try to a new 77-44 Ruger mounted with my TR-24 Trijicon german post, but 44 mag is what deer hunting is all about a dozen or so deers have fell to my's 44... Deerfield, Marlin,Trapper and if i feel like it i may give a try to my Rossi Hand rifle 44 mag, on the sand bag i could keep everything within 3 inch at 50 metres, not that good but enough for the thick brush, will see... JP.

Bah screw that .44 crap...you have a 6.5 Creed...thats all you need for mice to moose :)
 
The wood i hunt are with no open area thick brush, hard to walk but full of monster bucks not uncommon to kill 240 pounds +, were short barrel 44mag heavy slug are king and between you and me the first time you stumped a big buck with a 300 grainers at 1600 fps you understand that anything else would not do better at a 100 metres or less and those rifle weight under 6 pounds, when i go down in Pennsylvanya to my cousins place in Bhetleem, i do use my Scout Steyr 308 as easy 200 metres shoots are possible, my Icon P.H. 6.5 Creedmoor is heavy with the Sightron on it 10 pounds instead of 7 pounds make a big difference in a day of hunting, i will use it maybe on my first Cariboo hunt... Cheers. JP.
