What will you be using this gun season?

nis1 · Jul 28, 2014

I'm just curious what everyone will be using come gun season. Bow hunting Is by far my favorite but I always enjoy getting a gun In my hands come gun season. My uncle gifted a single shot .50 Alaskan to me that I might give a try even though it's definitely an overkill. I did get a scope mount for my 870 20 guage for Christmas though so I may want to throw a scope on it and give that a try as well.

I bought two 11-87s this year and will probably carry the 20 gauge version. I'll have the CVA Optima Elite out a few times also.

CVA Accura VII with Nikon BDC muzzy scope.

Muzzy.

Got a traditions muzzleloader back in April. I'd like to try that out. And I also go a Remington 887. A fan of the low maintenance.

I checked the list of allowable calibers and the 50 Alaskan isn't listed. I'm sure some day they will change the list to just straight wall calibers.
Nothing is a overkill when it's dead.

I'll be using a TC Encore 45-70 barrel converted to smokeless ML during blackpowder season.
Then a Marlin 45-70 during gun season if need be.

Ditto.....

Hopefully I don't have to hunt in gun season. If I do I'll be toting my Rossi Youth Model 410 with the Bushnell Sharpshooter 4X on top.

hickslawns · Jul 28, 2014

Remington 870 in 12g, TC Omega 50cal, or S&W 44mag. Undecided at the moment. As always, I hope to be done by then.

Joel · Jul 28, 2014

I'm also hoping to be done before gun season. If not, I may carry the muzzleloader or grandpa's 357 lever action.

Archertl · Jul 28, 2014

Marlin 1895 45/70

I just stand there in the morning and say "Ennie-meanie-Minnie-mow. Whoever hasen't killed a deer lately gets to go..."

Boarhead · Jul 28, 2014

Bow but if not the bow then it will be my Knight muzzy.
