What Kind of Gun/Caliber are you using opening day of Gun/Deer Season

[Bear44]

Nothing...no private land to hunt this year!

Don't let that stop you! Go public, but go deep. I actually prefer public to private land. I won't be in the woods for deer opening weekend, but after that public land is less crowded than most private clubs are.

Will not be out this weekend, but when I do I'll be taking out my new favorite deer rifle. Marlin 1895 in 44 Magnum.

Same as every year. Browning BAR .270. Ol' Trusty.

 

[Bear44]

Customized Browning A-Bolt in 300WSM. This rifle in stock condition has been my go to big game rifle for about 10 or 12 years. I got a little custom work done to it this year and like it even more. It started as a Stainless Stalker with the BOSS system. The more years I hunted with it the uglier I thought it was and finally took the plunge. I got the BOSS cut off and had an 11 degree target crown done. The barrel is now 18 1/4 inches long. Had the barrel and receiver Cerakoted in Magpul green and put an OD with black web Bell and Carlson light weight stock on it. It's like having a new rifle that I'm completely familiar with.

The ammo is hand load with the Barnes 168 grain TTSX bullet. This round has worked exceedingly well on everything from small meat whitetails to an 850lb Kudu.

Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, I love this freakin rifle. LOL!
