What rifle will you taketo the woods November 6th.?

[TylerS]

Remington Model 700 in .30-06 with a Leupold Vari-X II 3x9 scope.

Of course, ideally I won't have to lug any rifle into the woods Nov. 6 because I'll be tagged out Nov. 5.

(North Dakota's season opens Friday at noon )

30-06 Remington Woodsmaster 742 is coming off the bench.

30-30 Rubberband Gun getting benched. I was suppose to graduate from the Rubberband to a 30-06 when I was a teen, but it was good at shooting deer dead so I kept using it for 20 years. With my son almost ready to join me in the stand with a gun of his own it's time to free up the starter rifle. I believe it is an honor to receive this gun. I was honored when my Dad handed it to me. The way we deer hunt has change over the years, I have learned a lot from my Dad, Uncle, Grandpa and Dad's Unlce and I am proud to be a supporter of letting small or even good bucks walk so they get big. If you don't do it, the guys around you get the bigger bucks almost every year. A solid 30-06 helps drop deer so they don't get into difficult places. My Rubberband Gun will change hands and I hope it gets taken back to places most guys don't like walk. My son is framing a target from the rifle range today. Adjusted his scope after I grouped 6 in a square inch and a half two inches high, he put one in the bullseye.

A gun used very little can have a lot of history.

I hunted with a Marlin 30-30 with open sights for a couple of decades, before moving to a scoped 30.06. Probably more deer in the USA have fallen to the 30-30 than with all others, and it's really all you need in the Upper Midwest woods where most shots are under 100 yards. Many a moose has also succumbed to the 30-30 in decades past.

I shot a 30-30 Marlin Carbine iron sights one year. It was just cool to shoot the gun my grandpa and his brother used for so many years. The Rubberband gun is a Savage Springfield Model 174 30-30 pump with 3x9 scope always at 3. Great stalking thick s#!t gun! Short, light, quick and deadly. The name came from the rubberbands wrapped around the end of the pump which were intended to quiet the rattle of the pump.

[TruthWalleyes]

Remington 870 Shotgun and a CVA Wolf .50 Muzzleloader will both be in the woods with me. The CVA will come in handy for the longer shots.

[mrklean]

well found out my gun wont be ready for gun season not sure what im gonna be taking now, the gfs dad is a gun nut so i will have choices from a .270 all the way up to a 45-70

[HuskerBen]

Marlin model 30AS in 30-30. It's a great rifle. It points great, the lever is quick, and it has knocked down most of my deer. Most of my hunting is from the ground in thick timber (river bottoms), so my shots are almost always within 50 yards. Perfect gun for that.

I also have a .54 Hawken that might see some action this year.

[knowsnothing]

Swiss Army knife and a whole lot of cover up scent!!

[knowsnothing]

Actually bringing the .50 cal, Pro Magnum smoke pole out, but with all the nephews hunting there will be several of my guns in the woods that weekend.

[Red Miller]

Remington Semi-auto, 30-06, 742 Woodsmaster. Good old gun with a new Nikon Prostaff thats rock solid.

Feeling lazy option: Ruger .44mag with a Nikon Extended Eye Relief pistol scope. Again, rock solid and can take the pounding.
