Haha....
I bought a 7mag a few years ago. I plan on taking to the woods every year. A couple weeks before season, I bring it to the range to make sure it's zeroed in. But, come opening morning when I reach into the gun cabinet, I always grab my Marlin 30-30 topped with a Redfield Tracker 4X scope. The same one I've taken to the woods every year since I was 14 years old, which was 22 years ago.
However, I usually hunt a thicket where I can't see over 60 yards or so. I guess if I ever hunted a wide open area, I'd bring my 7mag. Until then, it's the trusty old 30-30.
