What is the rifle/caliber of choice of the OB during primitive deer season?

The 10 day primitive season ends Saturday. After November 30 you can hunt with any legal weapon even during primitive weapon so long as you are on private property.

.35 Whelen is my personal favorite for PW.

7-08 from Saturday on though.

Marlin 336 is my favorite. When I take long shots, I have a Winchester M70 in ought 6. I want a Tikka in 308 though


Primitive is my bow because I don't have a muzzle loader

Bow


I rifle hunt during the rifle season (will use the bow sometimes also) but when it's archery or primitive I take the string and stick

The second primitive season dec 2-15 any legal weapon can be used in ms

I think 35 Whelan is the superior caliber for primitive. I use a 444 Marlin because 35 Whelan isn't (or wasn't at the time) legal for primitive in Louisiana.

CZ550 in .600 Overkill

.50 cal CVA

H&R. 45-70

35 Whelen makes 444 and 45-70 look silly

I use .50 cal muzzleloader with iron sights because I want to hunt with something that's actually somewhat primitive (arguably)
