RE: What Yall Use For Deer
Martin Cougar Mag Bow to start things off but I spend a lot of time hunting with a smokepole as well- this year I'll be giving the new Savage 10II 50 cal. a go. I also use a CF which is a custom 700BDL LH action chambered in 7mm rem mag. Have a few back ups as well.

RE: What Yall Use For Deer
I have to begin saying the only way for me to start my deer season right is to put a Gold Tip XT through the lungs ofa white tail with my beloved Mathews LX.
Then...
We can't use rifles here but the first thing I grab during firearms season is my Encore ML with Hornady L-N-L sabot and 150 grains worth of Pyrodex pellets. The second thing I grab is my ole Model 1300 Winchester 12 Guage with Winchester Partition Gold slugs.
I usually go to Eastern Kentucky hunting White tail every year and then I bring two rifles. Winchester Model 70 300 Win mag with some 150 grain ballistic silvertips that I load, and my 2nd rifle is a good old Winchester Model 94 30-30.
And during all of these except Bow Season, I'll have my trusty Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 on my side ready to go to work!
What a fun post! I enjoyed this!
