I've hunted mostly in CenTex and in the desert area northwest of Big Bend National Park in Texas.

Deer hunting has been mostly with .30-'06 and some with a .243; varmints with those and a .223, .22-250 and .220 Swift, over the years. Even a 110-grain '06 is sort of an insult to a poor ol' coyote, much less a jackrabbit...

Bird hunting has been mostly with a beat up old Model 12 in 12-gauge.

Been getting lazy the last few years; been feeding and watering critters, more than shooting them...
