Have a South Carolina deer hunt coming up in September. Planning on using the Savage Mod. 10 in 300 WSM because it has never filled a tag on whitetail deer. It has taken mule deer, antelope, and a hog. But never a whitetail. Gotta do something about that. For around here the plans are for the CVA Scout in 444 Marlin that I got back in February for hunting in areas where I usually use a 30-30. Only stuff it has ever shot so far has been paper. When not in a rifle zone it's back to the old standby; the 12 ga. Remington 870 "Special Purpose Deer" with fully rifled Remington barrel. Will also be out doing the inline muzzle loader thing in season this year for the first time with a 50 cal, CVA Accura. One nice thing about retirement is the almost unlimited amount of hunting time available.
