Here in SW Ontario it's 50 caliber Knight MZs for our crew in deer season in the shotgun muzzleloader units though I know a few guys who prefer their automatic 12 gauges.
In NB in York County the Upper Miramichi boys show a decided preference for the 308 cartridge and rifles but across the CN line to the east in Irwin clear cut country the 30-06 is ubiquitous and touted as the finest cartridge ever developed.
Local preferences...
