I have hunted almost exclusively with bolt guns. I have spent a little time with an old Remington 740 autloader in .30-06, but mostly My Remington 721 in .270 and my Howa '06.

I was recently given my grandpa's Winchester Model 64 in .32 Special and would like to take a deer with it someday. It was his dad's and I would be the fourth generation to hunt with it. Perhaps if I draw a doe tag next year I will use it.

I hunted as a boy with my fathers .32 Winchester Special. What a fun lever action rifle.
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. - Psalm 127:3-5

It's nice having a deer already in the freezer... :)
My nephew will be using a model 88 winchester .308 to tag his deer that i get to play guide for.. ;)
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Thank God we don't have to pick just one.  I celebrate diversity of arms. 
Such is life in the West and the further West the more the such.
