I live in Shoshoni, Wyoming (right in the middle of the state). I hunt primarily with a bow, but I used to hunt with a handgun. I also have used black powder in traditional front stuffers.
I shoot doves, pheasants, huns, chuckars and grouse with a Merkel. Ducks and geese with a Benelli.
Coyotes, fox, jack rabbits and prarie dogs are taken with a 22-250 or my 250-300 Ackley Improved.
In big game I hunt proghorn mule deer, white tail deer and elk every year. Moose, sheep and goat once in a blue moon. If I don't use a bow I use a 30-338. I am really fortunate to live in such a place.
