For dear in california i use a remington 700 .243 (yes i have the same two guns just different calibers) Both bolt actiona rifles. and i have a remington 870 express 12 gauge It's my baby (first gun) i usually bring it out on opening day for dove and put her away

Our goal is to get deer and bear with a Winchester 30 WCF (.30-.30), Model 94. We usually get them with a front bumper.

I hunt coyote (not very well), ducks, dove, quail and sometimes pigeons and turkey.
I use an AR for coyote and I have a few shotguns for the birds but my main one is a CD semi auto 12g chambered for 3.5".

 

I hunt just about any game animal I can. Turkey, deer, bear, waterfowl and dove, rabbit, and raccoon. I have a benelli nova 12gauge for all my bird hunting, a marlin 30-30 for bear and deer. Also picked up a savage .17HMR(love this gun) for all my varmit hunting I like to do. Dove season opens up sat. cant wait to get out to the dove field!

 

Elk - .338 Model 70 Win Mag w/ USO 1.8x10x44 SN3 Scope
Deer - Custom .257 Weatherby in Model 70 Classic Action w/ Swarovski 2x12x50 Z6 Scope

But like the rest of you there are 15 or so others that don't get enough exercise. Never sell a gun, they can be given away to kids, friends or family, but you will always regret selling any of them.

 

I am in Delaware and hunt deer, geese and duck. I use a Benelli nova 12 guage for the ducks and geese and a Mossburg 500 12 guage shotgun for deer. In Delaware we can only really use .22 rifles, but thats fro squirrell and rabbitt. I also just got an old Jennings bow from my uncle.

 

Hunted South Africa and the Russian Far East. Next foreign hunting trip is back to Africa for Cape Buffalo or over to Kyrgyzstan or Kazahkstan for Ibex and Tur.

Blue Marlin fishing exotic locations is getting to be a vice as well that drains my wallet once or twice a year.

Its all great, but the best of it all is Elk hunting with my father back in the Idaho every fall. Only time you can guarantee I will be in the US.

 

Dove season starts today and I'm stuck at work! C'mon 5pm!!!
