Deer season in Oklahoma is right around the corner. I see more and more people at the club working with their rifles. I'm sure some of you have new rifles or new to you rifles or built a new rifle just for deer season. So what you gonna use this year? I'll probably still use Frank, my old tried and true Rem 700 in 7mm08. Or maybe my Tikka 243. Either will get the job done.

Using grandpa's old Glenfield 30-30 to hopefully take a deer and maybe a bear. I would be thrilled to use his gun to take either. If not, will have the Bergara 6.5CM on standby.

I'd like to shoot a doe with my pistol but I need to get a lot better than I am now. LOL

Only drew a mulie tag. Not sure what gun I'll be using. Depends on how much I procrastinate doing load development.
Probably wind up using the 7mm and the same factory ammo I've been using the past several years.

I imagine I'll use my 7mm08 for gun season and my Omega for primitive. Same ones I've used for years. And my Excaliber for archery. Anyway that's the plan today.

We did not draw an antelope tag this year, dang.
I would have used my 26" Mauser 6mm Rem. I may use that for
some of my white tail doe tags. For big Mule deer bucks and elk, I'm using my rem 700 8mm RM. Maybe a few deer doe tags I'll borrow the Grand Doughters new 7x57 AI. We all got Swan tags this year I'll be after them with my Stoager 3500m.

YES
Is it good? no.
If you smoke it or make jerky out of it, it helps.
The biggest problem is there is SOOO much of it.
We have only 500 permits, Tundra, and trumpeter, given out in the Pacific Flyway. In the east part of the state, Central Flyway you can buy one over the counter, like sandhill crane.

Either a Ruger No.1 in.243 Winchester or a .308 Sako Finnwolf ,both for deer in PA.
In New Jersey a Savage 220F or a Ten Point crossbow for deer.

I'll hunt deer in New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho and Texas this year. I also have elk tags for Idaho and Wyoming. In NM I'll be restricted to a muzzleloader. In Texas I'll use my bow. For elk I'll probably use my 300 win on both hunts. For deer I might use my 300 win or my ultralight 6.5 creedmoor.

Turned in my tag so I'll be doing load development and hunting paper and steel.
