What you totin on sat and why....

[fasteddie]

I will be carrying my trusty NEF single shot 25-06 ............

[Hock3y24]

.308, because I want to shoulder shoot of the weather is crap.

[The Engineer]

M1 Garand with soft points I loaded myself. Doewhacked I have the same great gun. Love it. If you haven't used it service it. I didn't 2 years ago on opening day and a 10 point got a pass because it misfired 4 in row. I cleaned the firing pin but not the gas tube. 2 weeks later he walked right out of the woods looking at me at 80 yards. Thank God 1 shot and he dropped with in 10 feet. Good luck to all and stay safe Saturday

New remington 783 in a 30-06. Why bc I haven't taken it for a walk yet. But in the afternoon if the weather is as bad as predicted my 870 will be going for a walk!

12 ga. Remington 870, left hand model!  I do have a Savage 220 20ga too, but when sighting in last week it was all over the paper, so I am counting on the very first gun I ever bought.   I am in shotgun territory, but I don’t even own a rifle - unless you count a .22LR...

[46rkl]

Savage 25-06 with a Bushnell 3x-9x. Too much rain/snow predicted so I'll sit in my elevated. Lind with the Lil Buddy heater going...such a wimp.

[mowin]

TC pro Hunter in 7mm-08.

..... I put electrical tape snug and liberally around the end of the barrel, which water-proofs it. .....

Try a small balloon stretched over the muzzle. Any breech loading ML'er is pretty water tight (resistant?), other than end of barrel. Scope was more of an issue for me.

Will be 2nd year carrying my Savage 111 in 270 since county allowed rifes to be used. Still a virgin, so lets hope...

Browning A bolt .270, synthetic. Keeping the scope clear will be a pita, who’s got tips for that? I do have a neoprene cover on it

Browning A bolt synthetic in 7 Rem Mag w a Bushnell Elite 3200.  No issues with keeping that scope clear!  

[Robhuntandfish]

its interesting to see what people use.  Everything from 20-12 g shotguns or 243 rifles up to .300 wins .  There was even a 16 gauge which you never see anymore.  My Dad had a browning sweet 16 when i was a kid. Wish i had that gun but he sold it during some hard times and i remember back then he got a lot for it.  Im sure that wasnt easy to do.  But best of luck and hope all those guns have deer in the crosshairs this season.

i use the blizzard covers.  Can see thru the covers but can flip them up if they get too much water or snow on them .

I will be out in my new Summit Climber with my 12 GA H&R single shot Deer Slayer. Got the Climber from my family as a Birthday Present last week, cant wait to take my first deer from it.

What about those quick flip scope covers ? Uncle Mikes I think makes them. But good luck finding any today anywhere

I️ had the same Sweet 16 Browning mine was Belgium steel. When I️ was away at school my brother sold it for a bag of reffer probably. Wish I still had that gun. I do have a 12 gauge Belgium A5 I️ picked up at an auction couple years back

[Arcade Hunter]

Savage 11/111 .308

[Larry]

Planning on using my 444 marlin but may use my 870 12ga if it’s raining like they say it will be I’ll use light fields in that. The 12ga will put a bigger hole in them.

[chas0218]

Wife's Remington 770 .243 because it is a synthetic and light. Not to mention I don't need to shoot more than 75 yards not that I would limit the gun or myself to that distance. I just like carrying it because of the shorter barrel and it's light. She always harasses me because I take it more than I do my .270 or any other gun for that matter. It's just a fun gun.

[Water Rat]

Ithaca Deerslayer..........what else ?

Good luck to everyone going tomorrow.

[Pygmy]

I'll be carrying my Rem 700 Mountain Rifle in 7MM08 because it is my favorite deer rifle....

I have several other rifles I like to hunt with, but the 7MM08 nearly always gets the nod for the first couple of days...

It has a Burris 2x7 scope and  will easily handle any shots I can get from my tower stand, about 250 yards max...

If I get lucky early, I'll probably give one or two of my other rifles some trigger time..I haven't shot a deer with my Garand M1 in several years, so I'll probably let it go play a few times this season, just so its feelings aren't hurt..

[silent death]

Allot of guys are checking there zeros on there guns today

[Swamp_bucks]

I will also be bringing my h&r single shot 20 gauge with a beaded sight. Its great for the wind and rain.  Can shoot it out to 100yrds with ease. So when we get together to start pushing in the bad weather i wont have to run back to the house. 

[coonhunter]

I will use the only big rifle I own. 100 ATR Mossberg topped with a Simmons Pro Hunter scope, chambered in .270. Not a very expensive or pretty rifle, but it gets the job done. I just won $40 bucks with it shooting against the guys that came to hunt the farm in New Berlin that I have been bow hunting. So, it is off to Texas Roadhouse for my wife and me tonight.

[Just Lucky]

12 gauge 870 with a 2 power weaver scope and using super x bullets . It killed deer for my grandfather my father and for me over the last 10 years. The gun and scope are probably 50 years old. The sentimental value is why I carry it.
