Whatever you have ammo in hand for these days. Good ol’ thuddy thuddy does nicely

I just love a 308. Most of my deer are within 100 yards and it has served me very well. It is comforting knowing I can reach out if I need to also.

I have woods guns, treestand guns, shooting house guns, just because guns, ........I carry what’s needed or wanted, and rarely have I ever had anything too short or too long for the gun at hand, when the right gun was at hand.

I don’t have 100 yard rifles, I just have rifles. They all kill great at a 100 but some still kill great way passed that.

I’m a big fan of lever guns for close cover hunting. My personal choice for when I’m unlikely to have a long shot is a Marlin 444 with a 1.5-4 Leupold.

.444 marlin with a 2-7x32 vx2 with 300 grain hollow points running 1900ish work good for me.

.45-70 NEF handi-rifle; plastic stocks; after market soft butt pad; no-dak spud peep sight, NECG classic banded ramp with NECG partridge sight; about 6.25 pounds, but totes much lighter because of the balance. she will do.

I always have at least two, usually 3 or 4 guns in the truck during season. My post meant that I have occasionally carried two guns to a stand.
