How the hell did I miss this thread!
I am an avid hunter and I like many, don't kill what I don't eat. My favorite hunt is the deer season. Absolutely one of the highlights of the year. I have an old Marlin 3030 that is the weapon of choice for whitetails.
I seem to have acquired a 'few' 12gauge pumps over the years. My fave is the Ithaca. Oddly enough I don't seem to use them for hunting. For birds here, grouse, I like my lil 410. Nice and light, does the job nicely.
For varmints as I call them, I have a Ruger .223 Can't beat it for coyotes, groundhogs etc. and no, I don't eat the coyotes.....but he bastards eat my chickens and cats! I have horses so that makes the groundhogs real unwelcome.
I have a crossbow but have found i'm not too fond of it. Would prefer a bow.
There's a few other rifles in the cabinet
