[Sly Old Fox]

Dogging/sitting in the hardwoods. Ruger M77 in .308. Loaded with 150gr Winchester PowerMax

Dogging/sitting in the mixed woods. Win 94 in 3030 160gr LeverEvolution

Dogging in the really thick stuff. 870 Wingmaster. Rifle sights and a smooth bore allow me to take a few chickens along the way too. Winchester Rackmasters

I can' improve on your choices, except to add during hunts, there can be a lot of rain. My choice in such miserable conditions while posting, I frequently used a bubbaed L-E .303 BR. well greased, finger cot or, piece of vinyl black tape over the muzzle. Scopes IMHO are too hard to keep clear of the rain, fogging up etc. With the wet leaves and no breeze, being ever watchful is the most important and the open sights on a L-E gave me all that I needed as the range was usually well under 100 yards.

[mikeyb]

What am I carrying? A grudge for anyone who has a chance to get out and bag something.

I may get out on a Sunday if family commitments allow, and I'll be carrying a .30-06 most likely. Could have a million guns in the safe, but I can almost guarantee it's the '06 I'll grab first.
