Will be sitting with my son or cousin. Don't plan to carry a gun. Do 100% expect that there will be shots fired.

I’m taking the 1982 Rem. .270 BDL topped with Leupold VX2 3.5x10x40. Bought a sling for it at lunch. The first shootable deer I see will be labeled “the new computer software at my office” and I will shoot it.

Browning X-Bolt Medallion .30-06
Saved up money all summer when I was 15 to buy it. I had the price down to the penny. Didn't realize it, but I got it on tax free weekend and was able to go home with money in my pocket that I didn't plan on having. Never found another gun to fit me better.

Probably holding off til Sunday due to kids stuff all day sat, but depends on where I want to sit that morning.

Stand with less than 200yd shot, the .308 wilson combat NULA I just got.
Stand with over 200yd shot, probably the bergara 7PRC. I took it shooting last weekend and it’s growing on me again…
