    Bow: Pretty much a bow only guy these days. I own many bows so I grab the one that strikes my fancy on that given day. Several different Elite Archery models. This year I am going to do the bulk of my hunting with a recurve and/or long bow ... again, whichever one I happen to grab on my way out the door.
    Muzzleloader: T/C Omega (haven't taken it to the woods or even shot it for a few years now).
    Gun: Currently, a 450BM AR, but I have not hunted with it. I got drawn for a State Park hunt so I might take this out for that two day hunt. Also a Winchester 1300 12 ga, but I haven't hunted with it in 13 or 14 years.

    Bow: Homemade osage orange longbow or vinatage bear kodiak shooting 28" cedars and Zwickey Black Diamonds.

    Muzzleloader: Custom SW Virgina .54 cal flintlock shooting .535 round balls of 80 grains of 3FGoex or Tulle Fusil de Chasse flintlock shooting .600 round balls over 80 grains of 3F Goex.

    Shotgun: Remington 870 12 gauge with 2.75X Burris scope.

    Rifle: Out west I'll choose either my Remington 700 in .243 with a Leupold 3x9 scope (bullet depends on species), my old trusty Ruger M77 in 30-06 with a Leupold 3x9 scope (bullet depends on species) or my Savage 12 in .300 WSM with a Bushnell Elite 4.5x18 scope. Rifle choice depends on the species being hunted, the expected distance and whether I am carrying it or the horse is carrying it.
