Although I will spend most of my time hunting with my 9 year old so we'd be using his weapons. A Barnett X-bow in archery and one of two rifles in gun season. Stand/blind hunting = Sako 30-06. Still hunting = Savage youth 308.

Like always, my faithfull old .257 Roberts.

This year I hope to mix it up:

Bow: Hoyt Maxxis with Rage 2 blades

Muzzleloader: Remington Genesis, 2 pellets triple 7 and Hornaby SST 300 grain

Shotgun: 870 with rifled barrel and Leupold VX-II 2-7 33 scope shooting Hornaby SST

Rifles: Marlin 336 with 200 grain corelok, marlin 1894 with buffalo bore .357 180 grain

Hoyt Trykon with Rage; Remington Genesis muzzleloader, and an 870 with a rifled barrel. No rifles in Illinois --

I hope I can get enough time to actually hunt this year! I just got a new 308 and a 45-70 I want to try out! And a new muzzle loader! No bow though, I was thinking about getting a crossbow for next year though.

This will be my first time hunting for deer. Only my second time to hunt period. Last winter went Hog hunting and had a great time but saw nothing. So, I am currently weighing the options of weaponry. A friend who has been showing me the ropes took me to the range last week and we went over black powder and he let me borrow a Rossi muzzleloader in .45. Shot pretty nice. He also has a nice Knight .50 caliber that he is selling cheap. However, it is not the breakover type, it is the bolt type. Takes these little plastic things to hold the primer in place but seemed pretty easy. I may buy that off him.

At any rate. For muzzelloader I am using either the Rossi or the Knight if I can get it fitted for a scope.
For rifle, I am using either a Savage Model 99 built in 1924 cahmbered in 300 savage. Or the weatherby vanguard in .270. Have not confirmed that the vanguard is sighted in but that savage is one accurate rifle!
