I'll be using a Bear bow with Muzzy broadheads and for gun season I'll alternate, depending on set up, between my Smith and Wesson Mod 29 revolver and my Kimber model 84 in 7mm-08rem, As laways, looking forward to a productive season
 
It's Archery only for me...I love to shoot my bow & it's what I'm deer hunting with all season this year

up here in southern mn we cant use rifles so im using a borwning bps 12 guage with magnum buck shot
 
Browning A-5 12ga. W/Hastings rifled slug barrel and Lee cast key 7/8 oz. slugs.
S&W 4" M29 44 Mag. as back up, in case of shotgun gets damaged.
 
Launching .303 bullets is my game. :)


I've drawn a tag for a No Lead zone (D8), so I've put together some solid copper hollow point Barnes .311 TSX bullets going 2,750fps out of a No. 4 MkI Enfield. I've fabbed up 25 rounds of this stuff for the occasion.

They are expensive, but shoot well. Now lessee what I can do with this setup. I haven't got much green-forest hunting clothese, all my current stuff is surplus desert cammo. I need to see what I can find around here or make on the cheap.



My Labradors are going to freak when I run off hunting w/o them.
 
I hope I can bloody my old Colt HBAR this fall. It is very accurate, and my hand loaded 64 grain Winchester SP bullets kill well on hogs. I know they will work on deer.
Every time I take it though, I don't see a dang thing. :(

I intend to plank on a tree limb about 18 feet up until a deer passes under. I will then drop and nail it with my Kershaw DeerHunter :D
 
I live in Indiana, its pistols, slugs, or pistol caliber rifles only. I'll be using my AR15 in .458socom

I know a guy who did this one time. Jumped right out of a 10ft stand onto a doe with his knife. It was some big old no name bowie from the flea market. He got the deer down and eventually killed it. It almost killed him too. If I hadn't been nearby and watched the whole thing, I'd never had believed it. Yes, he is an idiot. No, I no longer hunt with him.
 
Rifles are illegal here in the plains so I am gonna stick with my trusty remmington 870 super magnum. I've been shooting rifled slugs and have not been disappointed yet. I have been thinking about getting a rifled barrel for it. Has anyone had experience changing it out? What barrel? Would any 12gauge remmington 870 rifled barrel work?

Probably one of these the 1951 winchester 70 is very accurate a one holer with 150 grainers and has taken a few.
The next one is a Lon Paul custom brno-602-375 h&h mag like Elmer always said you can eat right up to the hole. :D
Next up is a 1946 brno in 7mm mauser mannlicher all factory with original claw mounts and fixed 4x czech scope. I have'nt taken this one to the woods yet. :(
