Which hunting weapon and season do you like the best ?

[Hunter007]

I like  small game season just as much as big game because in small game season  you get more time and chances to hunt something ,weapon  like them all equally . The next one I buy usally becomes the favorite for awhile I will say though.

Honestly,  I like bow season, but with my fake arm, I literally hold the bow with the fake arm the entire time, becomes old after a few weeks, due to awkwardness.  Once rifle time comes, its like a big ahhh, and much more comfortable, because at that point, I do not use a prosthetic arm.   Sort of a different view point, lol...

Though I truly enjoy ALL of the hunting seasons, with different weapons. Like 22lr, shotguns, rifles.  Bow hunting is my true love.

I love crow hunting! My favorite weapon for that is my Benelli m2 but my new cynergy is gaining ground rapidly.

But my true love is tracking in the big woods with a Remington pump in something 35caliber. Give me fresh snow some wool clothes and a Remington pump and I’m a very happy man!

Bow / deer .

Speaking of wool, Ive been looking at Filson, Pendleton and Woolrich , for a shirt jac. Any thoughts ?

[Salmon_Run]

Kimber rifle (.308) / big game in the deep woods would be my favorite

[rob-c]

Archery/deer is my favorite, but since I started hunting during firearms with a revolver it has put some of the fun back into it for me ..

Filsons good look at silent predator, that’s what I have now and I think it’s better than Filson.

Dead even tie between: 

- Barnett recruit crossbow and Veteran's day +/- 3 days - peak of the whitetail rut in western NY.   

- Scoped Ruger M77 30/06 and the first good snow up in the Adirondacks (usually around Thanksgiving).   

The scenery and lack of hunting pressure up north cancels out the higher deer numbers out west.

Gun hunting the Rut for me!

Late Oct/early Nov bow hunting by far.

[Pygmy]

Spring....Hunting gobblers with my 40 year old  Rem 1100   3 inch mag 12...

September...Hunting squirrels with my 1937 Winchester m12  16 gauge...

October..Hunting waterfowl with my 12 gauge Browning Citori..

Nov-Dec...Hunting deer with my Rem m700 Mountain Rifle 7mm08...

Jan-Feb... Hunting bunny rabbits ahead of a pack of beagles with my 20 gauge Ithaca SKB  side by side....

In days gone by, my favorite thing in Sept  was hunting moose, caribou, elk or mule deer in wild and wonderful places on this continent,  but  my budget no longer can afford those hunts, and my body couldn't handle  many of those hunts anymore...Do it yourself wilderness hunts are a young man's game..

bow 

and muzzleloader.

Bow for deer is my passion. Also love duck season but still not close. 

[Jdubs]

I'm still fairly new at deer hunting so it's tough to call a favorite.  I had success with the rifle last season and feel very comfortable with that, but my first experience with the xbow last year opened me up to a whole new hunting experience.  I suspect this will become my favorite as I become more familiar that weapon platform.

Bow/deer

[mike103]

I do love spring turkey season and turkey shotguns but I agree walking in the snow with a Remington pump action rifle, of course in 35 caliber, is the best feeling in the world.

[Just Lucky]

Deer hunting with gun. I love still hunting with shotgun or muzzleloader 

[NYBowhunter]

End of season with muzzleloader. 

[Hock3y24]

Compound for deer 

[sodfather]

Beretta autoloader for ducks is my favorite with bow hunting for whitetail a close second 

[turkeyfeathers]

Remington 1187 spt loaded with 3.5” TSS 7.5’s for spring turkey.  But thinking I’m going to like this archery deer thing a bunch 

[JRod 8G8H]

Easy... Deer, late bow.. Bucks are cruising.. Really was hoping to see intense rut activity with my xbow last year but the rut was late in my area, 8H

Isn't this topic mostly about a hunter evolving, favorite game &/or weapon? Back in my younger (& foolish) days, I'd walk endless miles hoping to flush pheasant, grouse, woodcock, etc. My dad always had a couple beagles, so rabbit hunting with them was fun & enjoyable, even in the snow & cold temps! Also back then I loved hunting deer during reg SZ shotgun season, late Nov/early Dec in cold & snow.  As I've gotten older matured, the snow and cold temps seem to be less tolerable and not a lot of enjoyment vs suffering derived from hunting those conditions. This is when Oct & early Nov bow hunting became more enticing. Always liked bow hunting, but it got way more of a tolerable way to enjoy deer hunting. Needless to say, any bunny & bird hunting has ended for me. Loved turkey hunting when I started in the 1980s, when there were quite a few around where I lived then. Recently live where the turkey population is struggling, so shooting one seems less desirable than allowing them to try and repopulate slowly. Sort of an ethical decision on my part.

As far as a favorite weapon, had always lived in the SZ, so shotguns were SOP. Had them all!, single shot 410/20ga/12ga mag turkey shotgun, over/under 20ga-22 to semi-auto Rem 1100 & Browning LT 12ga Did get a rifle when they were recently allowed in my region. Do carry it, but would rather use my TC Triump BP rifle. Still prefer some sort of the "up close & personal" bow hunting and the addition of a Xbow has become my favorite. Esp with my aging less than toned physic, it is easier for me to enjoy and use successfully.
