We know the generalizations, but where do you hunt, with what and for what? Thanks!

I'm in the northwest, Washington. I typically hunt mule deer, black bear, and sometimes elk. Usually with my 30-06 bolt action Remington and usually with a 165 grain Nosler bullet. Ya, I change that up time to time, but that's my normal "do it all" setup.

What's yours?

I'm also in western Washington but I use the same rifles for everything: a stainless synthetic 308 with 150s for deer and 180s in a stainless synthetic 30-06 for everything else. I recently worked up a fast, accurate 225-grain load for a new Remington 700 in 35 Whelen but I'm not sure how much use it will get.

I've become boring in my old age.
