I carried my m70 classic in 7mm rem mag and my 41 mag blackhawk. This pair covers shots near and far away.

I am a rifle slut with absolutely no loyalty to action type or caliber. This year is going to be the year of the .223. 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.

Quite a diverse group of cartridges so far...interesting.
I carried a .257 Roberts and 250-3000 last season and bloodied them both.

I used a .54 cal flinter, a Marlin 336a in .30-30 and a Remington 700 Classic in 7x57 this year. Took a nice buck with the 7x57 on the last day of a special "Holiday" season.

Federal Premium factory load with a 150gr Nosler Partition. They shoot under an inch for me at 100 yards with 5 shots and have never let me down.

99C rebored to .358 WCF. Usually toting a 99 in .300 Sav. but ya gotta change it up once in a while to keep em off balance. One well placed 200 grain Hornady RN did the trick.

I used my trusty Remington Model 7 Magnum chambered in 300 SAUM w/ a Leupold VX-3 as I have since '03, but did not get a deer this year.

I didn't hunt the WI gun season this past year though I did hunt in MN and chose the Remington 7600 chambered in 30.06. And, no, the scope is not held in the venerable "WI-SeeTrews".

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.

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!
