Default what weapon do you hunt with?

I prefer muzzleloading. Lately I have been taking first time hunters so I have rifle hunted (30.06 or a win .270) the last couple of years. I spend most of my time with a shotgun in my hand hunting over my German Shorthair though.

I am a bow hunter but the last two years I have been taking my daughter and when she hunts with me I hunt with a rifle. I tried her out last year bowhunting in a tent blind....She needs a little more time before we try that again...... The girl can't be still or quiet for very long...

Well this season it will be my second archery season and I'll be packing my Hoyt Magnatec. just had it restrung and got a new rest.Ireally hope to be able to get blood on it this season.Muzzleloader I'll be toting my T/C Black Diamond .50 which with its pet load shoots MOA with no troubles at 100yards. It will be my second muzzleloader season with last years being a score opening morning. And finally for rifle I'll be packing my AR-15, it's a DPMS lower, Armalite 2 stage tactical trigger, Magpul CTR/Miad stock/grip, and a custom Ko-Tonics 6.8SPC 16" combat upper.

I love to hunt with my bow which is my main choice. I recently have some interest in muzzleloaders and started shooting my T/C Encore that I picked up lately. Not that I don't like hunting with my rifle, but just a last option for me I guess.

Depends on the season! Bow season, I use my Martin Jaguar Magnum. When it comes time for the guns, it is either a Winchester M70, .308 or 7MM RM, and when I hunt in tight spots, I go to my Ruger SRH, .44 mag.

See my signature:

Bow season: Reflex Highlander

Muzzleloader season: Reflex Highlander (I don't own a ML).

Rifle season: Savage .308 w/scope for long range. Marlin .30-30 w/iron sights for close up, brush busting. Remington 870 12GA for everything else and in places where there's a county ordnance against rifles.

I am predominantly a bow hunter. I will take out the shotgun or handgun during gun season so that I can hunt more places and take some extra does.
