My late grandfather (1916-1986) hunted deer in the UP of Michigan from 40-60s. I bought 81 acres in the UP a few years back.
On opening day, I will be using his flat band Model 94 Winchester in 30WCF that he bought right after WW2.
My oldest son will using a 700 Classic in 250 Savage.
My middle boy will be using a Tikka T3 SS in 243.
Youngest will have a made in 1955 Husqvarna 4100 in 270 Win.
Of course, Dad put them all together. Sigh…

The weather being hotter than hell here since deer opened Oct 1st. I’m waiting on some rain and cooler temps. Blacktail, typically get frisky around the last week of the season. I’ll spend the final 10 days hunting up a meat doe and a buck with a Seekins Element in 6.5 PRC. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/4dwNNg7g/1394486-A-CE21-4-D19-BC3-B-136-F618098-C3.jpg) 🦫

It’s real thick brush for us so I’m shooting an 1894 Marlin in .44 Magnum. It is a hammer up close.
America, Our Country and we’re taking it back.

I'll be taking a Browning X-Bolt in 6.5 PRC. I'll be bringing a couple of back-up rifles. One will be a Ruger 77 MKII in .308 Winchester that was gifted to me on my 12th birthday. I'll bring along a 700 in .270 Win and my new Tikka T3x Superlite .308 Win for loaners. It seems every season somebody needs a rifle due to a broken scope, lost ammo, or some other nonsense.

I will most likely take the 700 classic 250 Savage, slim chance that I may take the 25-06 mountain rifle.
If I feel really ambitious and go to my far blind I may pack the Sendero 25-06
My wife will be using the 700 classic 257 Roberts that she laid claim to when she killed her first deer with it 6-7 years ago I have a 257 Bob classic, shot it for the first time yesterday. It was my first time to shoot a Roberts. Damn rifle is fun to shoot.

Daughters will use a M7 243 and a T3 Swede.
I'll probably use a 660 in 308.
Daughters boyfriend just bought a Model 14 35 Rem.
If he can find ammo he is dieing to kill something with it.

Gun opener a few weeks away yet . I still carry my 30/30 iron sights and am itching to get some meat with a 6.8 SPC AR that I have. Not a real wise choice in hunting rounds but I was intrigued by it , nevertheless!

It’s been a fun read.
I’ve noticed a trend. Few if any 300 mags or 30-06’s. The .25’s and 6.5’s are popular. I didn’t see many 223’s so far.

Virginia is a .23 caliber or larger state so not a "legal" option here during regular big game season... Damage season after... any option. I was also surprised to see very few medium and big bore hunters.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Yeah, maybe everyone has gotten older and wiser. Bullets have improved a lot since the 1970’s and 1980’s though.
