Debating between a 3040 Krag (bubba'd)
Or my Marlin 336 30-30.
The last few deer I killed were ~ 85 yards and in.
Probably be carrying the Blackhawk 45 Colt also.

I've got a new Ruger African in 6.5x55 that will get used some and a Husqvarna 7x57 that will be carried when I'm woods walking. I'll always have the Ruger Blackhawk 44 mag with me for when a deer messes up and gets too close

Guess I won't be getting any deer this year  . Big Stick says unless I have a 6mm CM with a bullet with a BC of .620, that I won't be able to handle the recoil, I'll go deaf from the noise, the terminal effects will be poor, and the inferior flight characteristics will totally eliminate any fun to be had. Wish I had known all this 65 years ago. It would have been spared a lifetime of grief and misery in the woods! I read schtiks stuff, but for amusement purposes only....and in moderation. I have a ruger Hawkeye LH standard 30-06 that's never been hunting in like 8 years......that really needs to be addressed.

7.5” super Blackhawk that my dads best man gave me before he passed away…
Rem 760 30-06 that I’m planning on reduced loads with 170gr hornadys at warm 30-30 velocities.
Marlin 30-30
Marlin 35Rem
Old 760 35 Rem with open sights. My eyes aren’t what they used to be but I just can’t bring myself to have it drilled and tapped.
If I get around to working up a load for it a like new Remington 700 varmint special in 6mm
But that’s likely to change before season opens. So many rifles so little time!
Oh, I almost forgot about 6TCU and 35Rem contender barrels I haven’t used yet….

Big 7 and little 7
7mm REM Mag Browning X-Bolt Hells Canyon Speed with 140 grain REM Accutip hand loads.
Mule Deer Buck
7mm-08 Tikka T3X with 139 grain Hornady BTSP-IL hand loads
Mule Deer Doe
I’ve killed a coyote with the little 7, the big 7 has yet to draw blood.
We usually run into a few coyotes that we have ignored in the past, but I’m not planning to do that this year. Should be a fun hunt.

For the dense woodlands and swamps along the Delaware Bay where I hunt, it will be the usual, Winchester 1300 pump in 12 gauge, fully rifled with Williams firesights.
Planning to buy a CVA Accura before the January muzzleloader season.

Going to carry my 357 Max Contender, 10 inch barrel, scoped pushing the Hornady 180gr XTP to a moderate 1700 fps or so.
And AR chambered in 350 legend pushing a cast 180 grain Flat nosed cast bullet to around 2000fps
................ I'm close on two of those, mainly just to try the rounds/rifle. 350 Legend AR - not sure the load yet but plan to see how the 170 Hornady factory shoots and go from there Contender carbine in .357 Max - 21" barrel with 180 Aframe and H110. Youngest wants to try this one and I'll play with it a bit as well Old standards - Fieldcraft 22" in 6.5 CM and Seekins Havak in 6.5 CM For muzzle loader/prim weapons in each state a NULA muzzleloader I'm lucky to hunt multiple states with a rifle season from mid-Oct to early Feb so I'll use a lot of rifles over the ~4 months.
