Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game What are you hunting with this year?

haven't made up my mind yet but can hunt the two weeks with a different rifle every day

Most likely 300 RUM, got a new bullet to test on moose

Arizona bull elk, in New Mexico I'm hunting mule deer, javelina and sandhill crane.

Encore with a .460 S&W Mag barrel for deer out behind the barn in southern Michigan. If I get up to M 134 in the UP during deer season I'll take something flatter shooting. Probably Ruger #1 7 x 57 or Encore with 6.5 Creedmoor barrel.

Model 70 of some variety most likely. Unless something else winks at me when I open the safe.

Marlin 30-30 with a Leup. M8 3X on public tracts.

Took the Kimber 6.5 out for a stroll yesterday but didn’t find any hogs. Saw several deer.

Looking forward to the first use of my 8" twist .270 WSM (M70 Stainless action) with the 175 TGK for MT General Deer. For MT Antelope, either that 270 WSM or my CZ 527 6.5 Grendel which is a recent acquisition and also not yet hunted.
Didn't draw a thing for my native AZ but might by and OTC Whitetail B Tag in MT and try to get one with my 1948 peep-sighted M99 300 Savage.

Good luck to everyone.

Started today. A couple of 45 cal muzzleloaders.

Well, I had to scratch one of the rifles from the line-up this past weekend. I had the Whelenizer out for what should have been a routine check of function and final sight-in. However, it was throwing 180 grainers all over the place, and the measured velocities were well under their target.

This is a project that got sidelined when I got the Cancer. It's been languishing for 3 years now. I've got way too much on my plate to get it ironed out before November, so back onto the rack it goes.

. . . and out comes the Mauser From Hell. 8mmX57, 175 grain RNs . I think I used this last about 2020. I'll just keep it as a safety blanket. I've got 2 other rifles that need blooded with their new loads.

308 win with 165 BTSP or 7mm rem mag with 162 ELD X

I have a mulie hunt in Nov and a cow hunt in Dec.

So I’ll be using a new rifle. My grail gun. A Weatherby Mk V in .270Wby



It likes 130grn TTSX’s

Ended two days later.

Never get tired of bigasss muley pics.

Just a Win M70 in 308 Win using a fixed 6 and 150 TTSXs.



Gets the job done

Last deer season here in Louisiana I decided to hunt with only 35caliber and larger rifles. Things went rather poorly so I'll "make it all better" by hunting with only 30 calibers and smaller this year.(Except in primitive weapons seasons I'll hunt with a CVA Scout in either 35Remington or 35Whelen.) I'll be toting anything from a mannlicher stocked No1 in 257Roberts to a 308MX in 308Marlin Express to a Ruger M77 LH in 30/06 and several more between. Having choices is a wonderful thing!

A 708, I've fallin in love with that round. Been shooting a model 7 ss/syn in it but recently ran a cross a clean bergara ridge rifle in one, was looking for something threaded since I jumped on the suppressor band wagon. Plan on getting it setup next week.

Stainless Rem. 700, 7mm mag, 150 Fed. Fusions for plains deer.

Absolutely beautiful rifle.

No bucks, but opening morning success on my cow hunt.
