Since this is my first time in 12 or so years that I haven't hunted with a bow. I am determined to shoot a booner buck (whitie or mulie) with my 40 year old Stevens Model-B Fox 12 gauge side by side or my 30-30.  I will hunt all early season with a shotgun and save the old 30-30 until late buck.  I'm gonna show up my buddies who can't seem to get the job done even with their magnums.   :P  I'm still on the fence about what I will use for elk.  I have hunted elk with a bow for 25 years or so and not once with a rifle.  Maybe it is time to try it.  Maybe with a shotgun?  :chuckle:

Polarbear,  A shotgun with slugs and a scope would be a great choice in some of those firearm restriction areas (or anywhere actually.) 

As for me, I will be hunting elk in the Toutle unit with a T/C Black Diamond XR 50 caliber muzzleloader, shooting 360 grain Precision Rifle bullets.

For my elk hunt in Oregon I will be using my Browning A-Bolt in 270 Winchester and most likely will be shooting 140 grain Barnes TSX bullets. Either that or 160 grain Nosler Partitions.

For deer I will be using the same 270, and I'll probably load up with 150 Nosler Ballistic Tips, since those are the most accurate loads I've found so far.

I don't think I'll have time to do any bird hunting this year, but if I do I'll be using one of three shotguns:

1.  Remington 870 Express 12 gauge
2.  Remington 1100 Lt-20 20 gauge
3.  Beretta over/under 12 gauge

For deer I will be using a m70 featherwieght 270wsm and a Marlin 1895 45-70.

For elk I will be using a m70 featherwieght in 338-06.

For birds I will be using my ruger red label o/u 28ga and my 1100 Lt. 20ga

Iceman.  I'm really curious about your 22/20!  What's your setup.  How's it perform?.

Zen, Savage 24S-E, .22cal rifle over 20guage shotgun. There may be no better grouse getter out there. If the birdie is giving me the chance, I will hit him with the .22, or the 20 if I feel he may get ready to bust. Fantastic shotgun.

i've got one too...i love that thing.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

This year I'll be hunting deer with my Hoyt Ultratec and elk with my Model 70 30-06.
Next year it's all archery. I have a 870 express (who doesn't) for birds, and a pre '64 winchester 32splc that I bring out now and again to shot small game.
