What have you used?

Post by Big58cal »

I got to thinking about all of the different guns/weapsons I've used to get deer with (haven't had a chance at anything bigger than deer yet). Still got a few more calibers to add to the list before I kick the bucket though. :wink:

Bows
Golden Eagle Falcon Cam compound
PSE Magna Flite Express compound
PSE Mach Flite 4R compound
Excalibur Equinox crossbow

Muzzleloaders
.54 cal
.58 cal

Shotguns
20 gauge
12 gauge

Rifles
6.5 JAP
8mm Magnum
.223
.243
.270
.30-30
.44 Magnum
.444 Marlin
.45 Colt

So what about the rest of ya'll? What all have you used for deer/elk/bear/moose/etc.

Bow:
Excal - everything else is in the past. Not just saying that because of present company.

Muzzle:
If I go during Muzzleload, I would take my Excal. But have the following:
TC Blackdiamond
Traditions 54 Cal

Shotgun:
All in one Browning pump. Screw in tubes. Killed turkeys to 52 yards, deer, doves, quail, hogs. One stop shopping.

Rifle:
BAR in .270 - hyper sensitive to ammo, but Bad A-- with Hornady 140 gr SST, long-range shooting - Remington 100 gr SP (knock the eye out of an armadillo at extended range).
Win Model 70 with 257 Roberts custom barrel (Dad never cleaned it) - gun killed 17 deer in a row after custom barrel without a miss or loss. Then lost 2 in row. Not gun's fault though.

No season. LOL totaled the mustang. Guess they are getting me back for killing their buddies. I've hit 7 deer with a automobile in 24 years, killed 4 of them.
