Are you doing any hunts this year?

Question

I was just wondering if you were taking any hunts before the seasons over. If so what are you going to hunt and what calibre and rifle are you bringing? What ammo are you bringing?

This year my father and me both got moose bull tags out of the draw so we are going on the 18 th in northern ontario. i went 3 years ago and my hunting partner got a 56" bull. I am bringing a 300 wsm browning A-Bolt stainless hunter, with 180 grain winchester XP3. Hopefullly i will get a big one this year

Answer 1

I am hunting around my house, Bear and deer! I use a 30-30!*

Answer 2

Indiana whitetail deer.......50 cal blackpowder Kentucky rifle  

Answer 3

Probably headed for central Texas to take an eland (yes, the African antelope) for some meat.  There is a cattle ranch up there that runs a herd of about 200 animals and needs to have some yearlings taken out.  My wife will use a 6.5X55 Swedish in a M700 Remington.  I will back her up with my 7mm Rem mag in an M700 Sendero.

BTW I've used the 6.5X55 to take red deer, oryx, hogs, fallow deer and blackbuck.  It is the rifleman, not the rifle.
