What weapon will you be big game hunting with this year?

[Gatehouse]

What are you hunting and what weapons are you taking? Moose with a 45-70? Whitetails with a .30-30? Slug guns?Buckshot? Or are you a bowhunter and you are taking your longbow?

Me:
Elk & Moose- Ruger #1 303, 300WSM and 375 Ruger
Blacktail deer -Ruger #1303, 300WSM and 375 RUger

Not much time to hunt this year.

But I will be doing it in style.

I'll be taking my compound bow for big game and my .410 for grouse. Hopefully by next season I'll have found and sighted in a nice new big game gun.

Weapon .................Nice.

I prefer to use the term firearm......or gun.

 

[burnt_servo]

weapons ?

are you taking up hand to hand combat with cute , cuddly , forest creatures Gatehouse ?

 

[Winnipeg Toymaker]

Either a 1988 browning .270 bolt or 1907 Winny rifle in 30-30.

 

[canadaman30]

...270win.

 

[Stevebot-7]

I use my music as a weapon.

Still haven't hauled my carcass to the hunter's ed course, so the only things I'm hunting for this year are gun parts.

 

[nim]

canadaman . . . That's a nice lefty .270. That's what I'm looking for- for next year. What is it and how do you like it?

 

[skhunter]

My rifle choices will be, Rem 700 BDL 8mm Rem for Elk, Tikka M695 338 Win for Moose and Sako 75 7mmSTW for Deer.

No need for weapons if your hands are already deadly weapons!

My buddy has recently acquired a Remington semi in .35 Whelen. He wants to use .35s this year, so, I guess I'll be dusting off my Sako lefty bolt in .35 Whelen this year.

I should also mention that I'll use my .35 Whelen pump as well, and for grouse, my Stoeger 12ga. Coach Gun. Waterfowl will taste steel from either my Stoeger 2000, or Ol'Reliable...my well used 870...both in 12gauge.

Didn't we just had a Hunting Rig Survey?

619 responses are not enough?

Or we need to mock "gun is not weapon" some more?

I'll be packing my 7SAUM [700 SS], my 300WSM [Vanguard S1] my 308 Norma Mag [PH M81 Classic]
Maybe, just maybe, my 338 Win Mag [Vanguard S2]

If I am hunting deer only, I may just use my 7x57 [M700 Classic]

How long have you had the 7SAUm, EagleEye?

Deer? Moose? Black bear?
All of the above?

 

[Salty]

Probably just my model 16 fcss in 260 and my rugger mk11 in .308. I won't be hunting anything bigger than deer this year unfortunately.
