I always take at least two hunting rifles and four boxes of ammo for each. Got to have a back-up plan. One handgun and one shotty.

I always take at least two rifles, a shotgun and a pistol. This weekend I'm taking my 270, a 243 and a .22 along with a 12 gauge and my 40!

I'll have my 300 WSM as the main choice for sitting in the blind, probably my .25-06 or maybe one of the 25 WSSM as a backup, the 6.8 SPC AR-15 as the truck gun, and the 10mm on my hip. And, I'll probably bring a .22 pistol for plinking and my normal 9mm carry piece to get some trigger time with it. Yeah, six seems like a well rounded and balanced number for one guy hunting for 2 days. nuts

When I was a teenager just starting out, the family who I hunted with all carried a pistol along with their rifle and they also liked to keep a few extra rifles and shotguns back at camp. I never understood why. No pistil is more powerful then a rifle, and I can only shoot one thing at a time, so I've always just had my rifle. Same thing when going to Alaska. My .338 is a lot better bear gun then any pistol.

What do you do with extra guns on a hunting trip?

I'm may be old fashioned but I just bring a deer rifle of various flavors and my pistol that stays in the truck

On long hunte I take a backup deer gun in case something goes wrong


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

I don't stop when I'm riding solo. When the wife and kiddo are riding with me I gotta go to Buc-ees, stop for kolaches, pee breaks, etc. I point it West and set the cruise control.


I'm with you on the no stopping when flying solo. Well I make one stop, and its to get my beer. County the ranch is in is a dry county. I still don't understand why folks want dry counties confused2

Bow, AR 15 for hogs and then my 7mm08 for deer if it is raining because I don't want to sit in an open tripod with a bow.

I always have my .22 mag and .223 in the Ranger year round. My .270 is go to rifle for any deer here or in West Texas. I am going to switch from crossbow to compound now that general season is here. That way I have more room for a rifle if I need it.

Pistol for varmints of all shapes/sizes, especially those encountered on the road.
Truck rifle/backup gun
Deer rifle

Only the deer rifle goes to the stand, the others stay in the truck while I'm hunting.
