What gun do you hunt deer with ?

[Dstegjas]

It use to be a fairly simple question when we were back in the shotgun only era. Once it was opened up to pistols we had more options available to us. I went with the T/C Contender in 44 magnum. I was good out to 100 yards with its 12" barrel. Once rifles were allowed I stayed with the same caliber and use a Marlin 1894. I have other pistols and rifles that qualify caliber wise. However the 44 magnum just seems to fit my style of hunting. I'm interested to hear what everyone is using both guns and calibers. Also why you decided on them.

If I go out, it's a 45-70, it's the only gun allowed that I have that isn't a slug shotgun.
