As in what do you deer hunt with MOST? Not looking for a list of all that you have but which one do you use most often or have taken the most deer with. It could be a bow, muzzleloader, or centerfire. Make sure to include the caliber and any other details.

Remington 760 in 30 - 06. The gun is WAY older than I am and was used by my uncle for many years before he handed it down to me.
I've purchased many guns over the years, but this one is the ONE!

RE: What's your go to weapon?
For the past several years I've had two guns I consider my deer guns. Both are Winchester M-70's, a .308 and a 7MM RM.
I guess as a superstitious habit, I swap them out each year! But I always feel better with my .308!
This year, I have a new .243, so its the one thats going to get the call from the bull pen!

My "go to gun" is my first center fire rifle. It's a Savage 99 C in 308 win., mounted with a 6X bushnell scope. It has never failed to drop whatever the crosshairs were centered on.

870 Express combo. I found one, new in box, at a dealer's table at a gun show. This one had a matte finished American walnut stocks on it. The butt stock has a small area of walnut stained sap wood at the toe so I think it may have been a second from another model. In any case, it is factory original and has mellowed the way walnut stocks do when well used.
I do know that the reason I like it over my Wingmaster is mostly psychological though. I do hit what I aim at with it so confidence plays a role. The 870 is with me for deer and fowl. A bit of boiled linseed oil on scratches and all is well with the world, that and a beefed up mag spring to end deer slug recoil feeding malfunctions (at the range).
