Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting What Are You Going to Carry in Camp This Year?

For the Opener, I'll carry:



Savage 99, 308 WIN 165 Hornady SP

backed up with


Ruger Hawkeye in 30-06 165 Hornady SP

For Week #2, I'll rotate in



Custom Mauser 25-06 117 gr Hornady SP

and at some point I'll bring out the Whelenizer




Remington 7600 35 Whelen 200 grain Cast Lead.
This is my big experiment for the year. Over the summer I started using powder-coated cast lead bullets. It's shooting velocities more like a hot 35 REM, but it should kill deer just fine.
