Weapon of choice?

[tgloden03]

I was wondering what weapon you guys prefer when hunting deer just to see what the majority of hunters prefer? Where I live we are allowed to use high powered rifles so my weapon of choice is my 270 WSM.

Mossberg 500, 12ga. sabot gun.

[Woods Walker]

Firearm? I live in a shotgun only state, so my favorite firearm for that is my Browning A-Bolt slug gun topped with a Leupold VariX III 1.5X5 scope. It likes the Winchester Partition Gold sabots.

Archery? My Bear Super Kodiak 55# recurve. It's not a custom made bow, but that thing fits my hand like I was born with it.

I have never done any deer hunting with a shotgun. What type of ammo do you shoot?

I use sabot slugs. These specifically. They mushroom like a rifle bullet, and they are still supersonic at 180 yards. I'm zero'ed at 100 yards, and I don't have to worry about holdover until I'm at 150 yards.

I have a spent Winchester Platinum tip that I took out of a deer that I shot a few years ago. When I first found it, I was not sure what it was. It was perfectly shaped with multiple points sticking up. A just brutally looking thing. I have it at my farm so the next time that I go there I'll take a picture of it and post it. It looked like something that should be banned, except it really did a job on the deer.
It looks nothing like Woods Winchester Partition Golds
