If it is a straight down rain with no wind, I will deploy the tree umbrella and stick with my scoped Marlin M512. If we get high winds and sideways rain, I will go with my Remington 870, 12 ga, with short smooth bore, open-site barrel, and Remington sluggers. Right now our Saturday forecast is dry but Sunday may have rain down in Chautauqua As I typed that it flip flopped.

They give you lots of options to customize it with different checkering patterns, stock shape, etc..

Foggy Mountain 100 Posted November 17, 2020 I typically use a Sako .300 mag. Shot an awful lot of deer with that gun and there’s no factory triggers I’ve ever seen close and I’m a trigger guy. That may be my choice again. Got a safe full of rifles so it’s gonna seem crazy, my other possible first choice is a .243 Rem 700. Not as much to my liking as the Sako but lighter and shorter and shoots pretty tight groups. . Got a few places I need to hike substantially, if I go there it’ll be coming. As I write my coffee table is full of reloads for both. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ridgerunner88 10 Posted November 17, 2020 First post ever! I have enjoyed this forum since discovering it two weeks ago. Grew up hunting in PA and joined the military and did not get to hunt that much. Now that I am back in the northeast for good it has been nice to get back into the woods! First day weapon is a Stevens 7mm-08. I won the thing three years ago at a local fire department gun raffle. The thing has been great and taken down 8 deer! Myself 2 does and 6 point, my 9 year old daughter a doe and a button buck and my brother 2 bucks and my sister in law a doe. I hunt northern zone so I already took a doe down last week with it and hope to get my buck tomorrow morning, it is suppose to be super cold so I am hopeful. Based on how close and the type of terrain I have been getting these deer at I am looking to switch to a 30-30 or 45-70 sometime in the next few years.. other than my daughter's deer which were shot in PA during the mentored hunt days all of them have been taken inside 100yds. Need more of a brush gun as opposed to my sniper rifle. Good luck to everyone going out for the first time this Saturday! 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
