Most people where I was would have a 22, a deer/black bear rifle, and sometimes a shotgun if they were into waterfowl.
My old man had 4 or 5 centerfire rifles at the time, and he would always end up lending one or two of them out every season because we knew quite a few people who hunted that didn't even own a high power. One of them was a 98 Mauser that he'd put a sporter stock and better set of sights on, and then a 7.7 Jap that was as plain as the day the war ended. He ended up building something out of the Jap eventually, though.
