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 get bored taking the same rifle to the stand every hunt. I'll be at the ranch for 10 days and we have a variety of animals. I usually will take a suppressed Blackout with subs and a full power rifle to the stand along with the supressed 22 pistol. While deer hunting?

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.

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.

If you stop somewhere to eat, etc., make sure you don't have all kinds of hunting/shooting stickers on your truck. It just means "weapons cache here" to a smash-and-grab thug/meth head. 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

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.

So you've gone straight archery on me? 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.
