Well I have slimmed down my "deer rifle" battery over the last few years so it is a little easier to decide what to take now.

If the weather is bad (rain, snow) I will be using my MRC 1999 synthetic stainless .260 remington (this is the Campfire Special from a few years ago)

In good weather it will be either my JC Higgins model 50 30-06, or a JC Higgins model 51 30-06 depending on how I feel on that day.
