Back in the '70's when I started hunting the Catskills Win. 94's, and Marlin 336's chambered in .30-30 and .35 Rem. and Remington 760's and 742's chambered in .30-06 clearly ruled and accounted for probably 80% of what you'd see in the woods. There are still some old timers carrying those rifles every year but now you'll see most carrying a scoped bolt action. Usually a Remington, Savage or Ruger and most often chambered in .308, .270, .30-06 or .243, though lately quite a few 6.5 Creeds are going afield too.
