Singe shot youth .243 started e out at around 9, then progressed to a savage model 110 7mm-08, and now I'm at a 257 weatherby magnum and 22-250.

19 years hunting.
In order of progression:
Marlin 30-30, Rem 7800 30-06, Browning A Bolt 270, Weatherby 300 WSM, Savage 212 Slug gun.

109 deer total
68 with gun
41 with a bow.

I've only killed 5 deer or so with a gun in the past 5 or 6 years. Finally learned some finger restraint.

Remington 7400 30-06, Remington 700 .270, T/C White Mountain Carbine .50 cal, T/C Thunderhawk .50 cal, Browning A-Bolt 30-06, Mossberg Ultimate-Mag 3-1/2 12 ga., Remington 700 50-cal ML, Remington 870 12-ga, Ruger 77 Frontier 7mm-08, Remington 700 .300 Win Mag, Ruger American .243, Ruger American Compact 308, Remington Model 7 7mm-08.

Least favorite of the bunch was .270 although it was quite accurate. I had good long runs with the 7400, A-Bolt and Ruger .77.

Oh I forgot to mention the .300 Mag was cursed with an evil spirit. It wasn't the recoil. It shot great on paper then weird things would happen with it in the field. I killed an elk and a deer with it and thought I'd exercised the foul demon. But it acted up again. I gave it to my dad and he traded it for an A/R.

central ala,
Can't answer any of those questions accurately. Been killing deer for at least 41 years and still hunt that same property.

380, 357, 44, 41, 45, 38 are the pistol and calibers but don't remember the guns mostly.

50 cal. BP

Many different 20 and 12 gauges.

Can't even begin on rifle cal. but 264 was my favorite long range cal. and I still like a 30-30.

Browning A-bolt .270
H&R Ultra Slugger 20ga (Had 2 of these) (#2 most killed with)

Didn't start deer hunting seriously until I was 19 which was 30 years ago. We always squirrel hunted and were dang good at it too.
I used a savage 12ga pump for several years and finally bought a ruger M77 270. I killed my first deer with a ruger 44 carbine. Now as for how many I've killed I have no clue


When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself
The older I get the better I used to be

I squirrel hunted with my father a bit from maybe 4-8years old. I lost all interest after a frigid trip at 8 years old(I've still never been as cold and miserable as I was that trip.) Picked up the urge to try hunting again at 14, so this will be my 26th season. Not sure on numbers but I guess it's between 40-60 deer.
I've killed deer with a 30-06, 25-06, 12ga slug, .45 1911, .45 FNP45tac, .50 and .45 cal muzzleloaders, 7.62x54r PSL, and 7.62x39 SKS and AK47.
I've been mostly toting a 300blk AR for the last three seasons. I haven't shot a deer with it but I've been really mad at the pigs.
