What do you typically hunt with? Handgun - Revolver Handgun - Semi Auto Rifle - Bolt Action Rifle - Semi Auto Rifle - Lever Action Shotgun - Pump Shotgun - Semi Auto Other
So many possible choices, "other" may be a popular answer for this one.

Posted by: FlintDate: 11/11/2003 12:56:45 PM Posts: 127   | John, you should get some interesting replies back to this one. In Kansas we have a split season this year for whitetail. For the opening half I will hunt with a revolver...specifically a Taurus Raging Bull in .454 Casull. My load is 29grs of H110 and a handcast 300gr. RNFP gas-checked bullet. The second half of the season I'm thinking of taking out my 30-40 sporterized Krag....haven't hunted with it in a few years. Handgun hunting I pretty much stick with wheelguns in .44 or 45. With a rifle it's either the Krag or an older Model 70 in 30-06...both do an outstanding job on Kansas whitetail. |

Posted by: dac-nyDate: 11/12/2003 1:54:38 AM Posts: 28 | can't say i hunt with any weapon more than another i hunt with my 45 lc bh if i plan to hunt the more mountainous terrain of the adirondacks because the shots are no more than 50 yards any ways...i use my 44 carbine if i plan on getting to my hunting area with my 4 wheeler because of its compact portability and if im hunting on my wifes uncles farm i bring the bolt 270. and of course theres alot of other situations that call for other guns mainly to give my wife a reason for my owning so many different guns. |

| Well, since I had to pick only one I chose other. Most of my hunting is done with a muzzle loader (required for the area I hunt) and/or a shotgun. Public land is sort of scarce in my area of Texas and they have imposed these requirements on us. |

Posted by: BoomerDate: 11/18/2003 8:53:41 AM Posts: 253    | They make hunting guns that are not a rebarreled 98 Mauser? I didn't know that!
Seriously, I did finaly manage to get myself, my Ruger 96/44 and a deer all in the same 70 yd circle last Saturday, and I must say, I was favorable impressed with the .44 on that deer. Of course I used my 98's in '06 for the first two! |
| Is it deer season yet? |

| I was sort of surprised to find Revolvers were right up there with rifles - well almsot.
Of course I was way down in that 2% range - big surprize (my picture is in the dictionary by the term "weird").
Keep plugging! Jim Higginbotham |
