if I am at my lease, 1-30-06, 1-30-30, 1-22 mag. The 30-30 is dual purpose, it can fill in if there is a problem with the -06 or I can use it for hogs. 22 mag is good for hogs, coons and any other varmits

I always carry two. Same caliber, zeroed with same ammo.

I always bring two rifles unless its a quick day trip.

I would never go on an extended trip with just one gun, too many times I have seen mounts come loose, guns get dropped, etc.


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

At least two maybe 3, maybe 4. Depends on how long I plan to be there. This year it'll be a 25-06 and 6.5x55. I might also take my 22-250 and my AR. Probably the first weekend tho I'll just take my two deer rifles.

I take at least 2 when I head out, and ALWAYS carry my Glock 20 "10mm" with a 6" Lone Wolf barrel. I have broke primary rifle, (don't ask) finished the weekend with a 44 mag Ruger Super Blackhawk. I don't hunt South Texas anymore, the lease is only 55 miles away.

I only load one but technically take two since my Savage .308 truck gun is always with me.

Hate to admit it but I have taken as many as 5 if you count the 22 lr for squirrels. Hate trying to decide which one to hunt with so I take many and make the decision last minute each morning

I always take a backup rifle when I go hunting. Take a backup shotgun when I hunt birds as well. My guns don't break very often, but when they do it seems like it's when I hunting vs being at the range.

Lying is lying. Don't bitch about one doing it and condone another. That's called hypocrisy.
