What weapon do you hunt with?

idahoelkinstructor · Dec 10, 2005

I am still new to MM but I want to find out what makes up most of the members here a MM. So out of fun I am wondering. Do you rifle hunt, archery hunt, black powder, maybe a bit off all or strictly just one? In addition what is your favorite animala to hunt. Also what state do you live in and what states do you hunt? Last but not least how did you come up with your screen name. Of course I'll go first and here are my answers to my own questions.

I like to mostly archery hunt, but I also like to rifle hunt from time to time.
My favorite animal to hunt is the elk.
I live and hunt in Idaho but wish I could have the time and afford to hunt several western stats for elk.
I came up with my name because I live in Idaho, like to elk hunt and I am a archery education instructor.

a3dhunter · Dec 10, 2005

I hunt with rifle and compound bow.
I'll choose archery over rifle anytime, but I usually hunt rifle so I can be with family. My Dad and Uncle's don't archery hunt and I only have a few years left to hunt with family before they pass on. They're all 30-35 years older than me.

PSE bow
30-06 rifle

150fighter · Dec 10, 2005

300 WSM Browning Rifle but soon getting a bow
Like hunting elk deer and mountain goat
Hunt in British Columbia mainly, every few years go to Alberta for mule deer.
Came up with 150fighter because my first mule deer scored 150 and was a fighter and had many scars on his face.

LAST EDITED ON Dec-10-05 AT 06:21PM (MST)[p]I'm a rifle hunter. Mostly blacktail, with some mule deer and antelope. My favorite is antelope. I used to live and breath waterfowl hunting though. Ive hunted Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Alaska, and New Mexico.

I live in Cali, the extreme NW corner.

Thinking of switching to hunting turtles exclusively. With a .460 Weatherby of course.

Do love my .300RUM, and thinking of getting a strickly deer gun.
Also love my Benelli SBE, waterfowling rules me once all my big game tags are gone.

Hunt Utah mainly, but will hunt where I can get a tag. This year, Utah, Wyoming, and Arizona. Drew a Nevada, but turned it down, to many hunts.

Live in the Redwoods and Grapes.

Use a Browning SS Stalker .280 and a pre-Japan .300 Weatherby Mag. Go where ever I can draw tags in the Western States.

But "eelgrass" & I are talking about trying our luck with a giant Turtle Trap that should get us some game in the Ruby's.

From Arizona so you tend to learn to hunt with any weapon. Because you can't draw to many rifle tags. I put in 4 states and usually draw 1 tag. I will put in for rifle, bow and muzzleloader tags.

Warren · Dec 11, 2005

I live in Mississippi. This year I've hunted Nevada (deer), Kansas, Georgia, and Mississippi. I have hunted Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas, and Colorado.

My current lineup:

Matthews SQ2
Knight Disc
H&R .38-55 (now legal in Mississippi as primitive weapon)
Weatherby .270 Magnum Accumark
Occasionally use .270 BAR

robinh00d · Dec 11, 2005

I mainly archery hunt, (use a pse polaris bow with easton carbon excel arrows and thunderhead 100g broadheads), with rifle hunting wen i get my draw tags( use a Ruger 7mm Rem. Mag. Stainless steel). Favorite animal is definitely muleys, with whitetails a close second. I live and hunt in alberta, and got my name from one of my hunting buddies

kilowatt · Dec 11, 2005

Warren,

I noticed that you said you have a .38-55 H&R, how do you like it?? A friend gave me a Winchester Model 94 Limited Addition in .38-55 and I still have not fired it.
Probably close to 30 years old now and it is still in the original box and in safe. Bought two boxes of shells but that is all I have done.

AZbowhntr · Dec 11, 2005

Obviously by the name I archery hunt. But also being from AZ I will hunt with whatever it takes to get a tag. I have taken deer with a bow and rifle, and have taken javelina with a handgun and a bow. I strictly apply for archery elk though. I like to hunt at least 1 other state a year and will usually try to hunt that state rifle. This is what I currently hunt with;

Parker bow
Lazz/Sav. Patriot .308

littlebuck · Dec 12, 2005

most deer get a knight disc. I sort of went overboard and used a 30-378w. on a cow elk last saturday.

Lien2 · Dec 12, 2005

I try to hunt anything and everything I can.

Ruger 7mm Rem Mag
.270 Remington
.243 Remington
Matthews Switchback
12 Gauge Remington 11-87 Super Magnum 3 1/2"

Now if you'll excuse me, the seasons are coming to an end and I need to go cry some more!
