Default sighting in your rifle for NE

i wanna hear your deer rifle set ups for hunting in the northeast.
do you shoot an open sighted brush gun like the remington 35? 30-30?
do you like a powerful gun with long range capabilities or a slug gun?
at what range do you sight in your weapon?
i usually shoot a 4570 with open sights but this year i switched to using a 20 ga winchester 1500 speedpump. i shoot both at a hundred yards to get ready for deer season. i like the Winchester for quick target acquisition and fast follow up shots from the pump action if need be without moving my sight picture. another good thing about the shotgun is the scopes not gonna get knocked around bouncing up a logging road.
if you're using a popular brush cartridge would you consider making the switch to slugs like i did?
what kind of terrain do you hunt? woods or ag field?
what is your favorite cartridge?
