Here in Arizona, big game hunting is on a lottery draw system... meaning you don't get to go every year and sometimes rarely once in 5 to 8 years for elk and popular deer areas. I put in for deer and elk every year, got drawn for Kaibab (north rim of the Grand Canyon) deer 4 years ago and go a small rack 4x4 buck with a Winchester feather weight 70 in 30-06, got drawn for archery elk this year and got a nice medium rack 6x6 bull 3 weeks ago NW of Flagstaff with a PSE compound bow... big in body size as in over 300 + pounds of meat in the freezer!

On my bucket list. :yup:

I'm in bc, deer, bear, grouse, ducks and geese . Got two bird dogs in training so I have been hunting birds more then anything the last little while, and we still had bear from last spring, going for one in a few weeks, and hopefully a black tail as well. I shoot a tikka t3 in 300win mag for deer and bear, if it flys I use a Remington 887, or a. 10/22.

Oregon, deer, pheasants, grouse, ducks... And I've also hunted for but never killed-elk, bear, cougar.. I just have too many hobbies anymore and hunting has kinda been pushed to the back burner.. One of my favorite times each year is when we go squirrel (sage rat) shooting in eastern oregon.
For the rats I use one of three guns depending how far the shot is...
0-100 yards ruger 10/22 .22lr
100-250 yards ruger 77/17 .17hmr
250-500ish yards Winchester model 70 24" ss heavy barrel .223
For deer I mostly use my Martin jaguar bow.
For deer, elk, bear, cougar I use my Springfield a3 03. 30-06
For most of the flying things I use my Winchester super-x 12ga
05 Tj, long arm, one ton, lockers, winches, 39.5" Iroks

New Mexico. Been on plenty hunting trips with family but this year is my first time getting a license since NM is on the lottery system. Going out towards Silver City NM, hunting mule deer. Shooting .270 Remington Model 700. I'm going with my family again as a group 7/15 of us got a license. We all shoot different rounds, ranging from 7mm mag, 30-06, .270 mag, .308. Hopefully I'll get something.

SoCal, (Edwards Air Force Base)
Rem 1187 for ducks and quail on base here at Edwards AFB (ducks unlimited does an amazing job on base, limits every week since the opener)
Browning Safari Gold WSM 270 for G11 tags at Vandenberg AFB (200 miles from Edwards, but well worth the drive) got a large Doe 30 minutes into opening day.
Pig hunting is pretty bad ass as well there.
I'm originally from Iowa, SoCal is completely different than what I was used to in the Midwest. I grew up with the adage "if it runs, it rolls.... If it flies, it dies" lol
