The night before deer camp

Knives, backpacks, flashlights, clothing, boots 4 wheeler loaded, camera, tags,,

Now what gun to take, friggin packed and unpacked about 10 different guns.

Told myself this year I was going to stick with the basics, and std calibers, my 308 and 270 bolt guns both in Rem 700 mnt rifles...

Its so tempting to take some new unused guns, I hate this time of, as I have a new 300 wsm, 300 wm, 6.5x284, and 257 wby ready and willing,, ....I have never been a one gun guy or a lucky gun guy..

I guess its a problem that is a good thing lol!!!!

LOL not at all, its just that anyone of these will do the same thing on anything in north America. So I feel like a jack ass at times for owning a few extra than I need,, when all I need is a couple and make the pick easy.

Seriously tonight I am questioning myself why I have more than 3, if I owned 3 hunting rilfes say in a 375, 308, and a 6.5 (something like that) it would be easy.

If you owned these 4 guns you'd have everything you'd ever need.

.223 for cheap target shooting
.260 Rem. for deer/calf moose (95-160 grain)
.338F for everything (160-250 grain)
.375 Ruger, for big things with teeth.
 
I enjoy taking more than one out of the safe to come with on those special trips. Can't hurt to alternate but remember you take the experienced one out first to show the inexperienced how it's done. Good Luck!
 
Try the stair method.

Go to the top of the stairs with all your hunting rifles.
Put a coin on one particular step. Give all the rifles a big toss at the same time. The one that lands on the marked stair goes hunting. LOL, JK

I feel your pain man, if that's your biggest worry, it taint nuttin.

Buddy of mine had a similar suggestion: Take a screw driver & hammer & wale the pi$$ out of all your rifles. The one that hurt you the least to bugger with is the one you should take. Sell the rest & buy beer & whisky for camp...
 
A quote--LOL not at all, its just that anyone of these will do the same thing--


Just as the man said, "Now you know how a poligamist feels at bedtime!
 
This year I took five and used one.
When you have the opportunity for Bear, dogs, crows, and deer at various ranges and in different situations . . . you gonna call your mama when your single choice is out of ammo or the scope came loose!
 
I go through this every year, and end up buying more lol!!!!

Its packed, well they are packed, 7mm RUM, took the 308 and the 270.

done deal..

I really think I need to dump some hunting iron, as I get older its making no sense I thought I wanted rifles in each caliber, well I do not.
 
I love the Polygamist thing. :)

Man, JasonYuke...do I ever understand what you're talking about. :D

Year after year, when my buddies show up at camp with their same, familiar rifle that does the job just fine...I envy them. I've always got about four different rifles in my truck...all cased and zeroed with their own carefully developed handload - all prepared weeks ahead of time. :rolleyes:

One has been officially dubbed the "goto "rifle and the others are there "just in case". Like in case my horse falls on one, and breaks the stock like you read about in the hunting magazine articles. Thing is, I don't have a horse, nor does anyone I know. But I bring three extras just in case! :)

I like to think of it as the equipment junkies curse!
