>>2713475Deer/Elk: Custom 7mm WSM, mcmillan stock, swarovski 5-25x52 scope
Waterfowl/Turkey: Browning A500 12ga hand me down
Pheasant Quail: Browning 20ga over/under, can't remember model off top of my head, gift from grandpa for getting hunter's ed done.
When I'm not paying for training in hopefully another 6-12 months and am flying as an instructor I want to redo my deer/elk rifle to be similar to my dad's setup, and also get a new waterfowl shotgun, looking at the beretta a400 xtreme plus, though not sure if I want to go 12 or 20. Probably still do double duty as a turkey gun so I'd like it to be able to easily mount optics on, but a purpose made 20 or 28 pump might be best for that anyway.
Rifle upgrade I'm looking at switching to 7 PRC, a lighter action, XLR stock with the folding adapter, and getting a trust for a suppressor for it. Probably swapping on dad's old Schmidt & Bender scope. This is all into the future though as I plan on shifting to a more tripod/spotting scope system and that's a whole slew of upgrades as well including my pack. I want to push more into backpack hunts since where I live the big game is pushed deep in from high hunter intensity.
For hunting you can generally go one of two ways, either a high quality (read expensive) blade that won't dull quickly and have a sharpening tool incase, or you can go a cheapo disposable blade knife like an outdoor edge. Both have pros and cons. Higher end you can run a traditional fixed blade either in your standard buck knife or modernized style or skeletonized like the Argali or Montana Knife Co speedgoat. With MKC be sure you get magnacut, their ball bearing steel knives can rust if they go into the sheaths bloody.
I have never used a bow.
