I love my 336 and wouldn't want anything else for deer.
Doh...I didn't see this before I posted my question about the ammo. My bad..

I've seen several bucks this year but these two are my favorites. I got several pics of them on my game camera. I was hoping to get the first one. I've been seeing him for the past 3 years!!! I have 2 of his sheads and the antlers are like baseball bats I have never got a look at him during the season though.



This one has odd antlers. I saw him in person one time and he has a really cool looking rack.

You guys still on buck rifle season? .... Ours across the boarder is too short and too early.. it was 68 degrees during ours
Yes, our rifle season goes until Sunday. Only 15 days though!

We have a couple weeks left of muzzle loader deer season, then it's back to bow until early January.
No rifle season? That's terrible. Although I am a pretty good shot with my 44 mag winchester. The levereveloution ammo for it makes a big difference.

No problem
The levereveloution ammo makes a huge difference in my 336. I am shooting as good at 300 yards as I did at 200 yards with more expensive remington ammo. I highly reccomend it to anyone with a 30-30.

Your pics again make the point that if you want the big bucks you have be out there all day. When they are in the rut, you never know when they will show up!!!!

Very true. I saw the big guy with the thick antlers 3 different times while scouting. Once at 10:00 AM, once at 2:30, and once right after sunset around 5:00. The 3 trail camera pics I have of him are all 11:00-1:00. Then I sat in the tree sun-up to sun-down for three days when the season opend and didn't see him! When I saw my 10 point, I couldn't help myself

Hmmm, I guess I'm going to need a 4" and 37s so I can get the big boy next year
