Last year one got it with a .270 bolt, the other with a .50 M/L. I shoot them with a 336 in 30-30, .243s, 30-06s, 300 WM. I ain't proud.

Took a nice buck with the 7x57 on the last day of a special "Holiday" season. Last edited by rudyc; 01/31/12. It's a good day for something.

One well placed 200 grain Hornady RN did the trick. Last edited by 300jimmy; 01/31/12. God is pursuing you America ---turn around!

Both guns have 1.5-5X Leupolds in old Weaver PIVOT mounts BUT, I just found a nice Pre-64 M94 Eastern Carbine in 32WS w/tang peep sight that will get some hunt time next year in MI.

Sportdog Campfire Regular S Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 646 Southwest Michigan	Originally Posted by roundoak MI, MN and WI deer hunters...what cartridge and rifle did you hunt with last season? Pics would be good also. This past MI season I hunted with a Darton Bow, a Parker Crossbow, a 20 gauge H&R Ultra-Slugger, and a CVA muzzleloader. I killed exactly zero deer but since my grandson got his first deer with me in the blind with him on my own hunting property the season was a total success.

Sportdog Campfire Regular S Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 646 Southwest Michigan	Originally Posted by bruinruin My season was abbreviated by a Thanksgiving trip out of state. I wounded a deer with the Redhawk and finished it off with a Marlin 336 in .35 Remington that my buddy was carrying. When I did get to hunt I used the following- .44 Mag Redhawk. Love that pistol/scope combo. Very nice!
