I will be hunting public land and getting back to the basics by carrying an open sighted Marlin 336W that I picked up this past summer.
My backup gun will be a scoped Remington ADL .270 that I'll use later in the weekend when hunting a food plot.

Savage model 111 in .270 with the accutrigger. Bought it this spring, so it'll be my first season with this gun.

If I don't go duck hunting I will be hunting either with my Mossberg 835 Trophy Slugster with Hornady SST's, or my "custom" Mosin Nagant 91/30 with 180gr SP's. The mosin already has taken Coues deer out west, so I'm sure I could knock down any Texas bruiser within a few hundred yards if need be. Good luck everybody!
Wasn't born in Texas, but I got there as fast as I could.

my son will have my old reliable .270/700 and for the first time, I am taking my new Ruger Super Redhawk with Leupold scope. It's ready to go and I am ready to have a my first hand gun hunt!
I know it will limit me in distance, but I have loaded a great round and practiced and I am ready for this challenge!

I'll be taking my trusty Weatherby Vanguard 270. It sure can shoot a hell of a lot better than I can
