I hunt squirrel more than anything less, but then season lasts 5 months were as deer season is less than a month for gun season.
I use many different firearms to hunt squirrels, they include t/c contender 17 mach 2 w/ 14" pistol barrel , a 10" barreled 22 long rifle contender, a Ruger Mk2 22 long rifle with a 6 7/8 barrel. When I take a rifle with me it would be a Ruger 10/22 also 22 long rifle which I have modified with heavy barrel and ambi thumb hole stock w/ Burris scope. But my favorite Rifle to hunt with is a Ruger 7722 hornet with my custom loaded ammo. With that I hunt them at 100 yards plus, That's a challenge, partly because the load I use is a heavy bullet traveling at 1900 fps, at that range and with that load they can some times move out of the way from the time you fire till the bullet gets there. So you have to study there movements in order to connect with their head.
When I hunt deer I use a 44 t/c contender or 454 t/c encore, both again are handguns with a 10" barrel and 12" barrel respectfully or a Ruger 45 colt bisley w/ 7 1/2" barrel or 44 mag desert eagle w/ 10" barrel.
But when I carry a rifle its a 50 cal muzzle loader or a Remington 700 .308 heavy barrel.

I like to hunt any species of South African antelope!I hunted a spring-buck the other day and it was awesome!But the biggest challenge I've had the past 2 years is bagging a White European Fellow Deer (which isn't actually an African species but they do occur in parts of S.A.!) I spotted the biggest one of my life a month ago but got no shot! I usually hunt with my Hoyt Vectrix compound bow but the Remington 25-06 would be my favorite, I shot a Redhartebeest and Black-wildebeest with it! Nice Rifle

I love to hunt black bear or mule deer in AZ though bear is a little more challenging. And I use a Ruger 7mm mag with nosler partitions for the bear and a 357 Winchester for the deer. Although next year for deer I believe I'm gonna try my Thompson Contender 223

I enjoy deer hunting, but squirrel and quail are my favorties.
For squirrel, my favorite gun is a Marlin Golden Model 39-A .22 LR that I've had since 1978.
For quail, I use my old Fox Model B 12 gauge side-by-side double.
For deer, I use my Browning BLR in .358 Win.

Whitetail deer. & my rifle is a Bowtech bow. Nothing beats getting close enough 2 a good whitetail buck 2 make a shot with the stick & string. Nothing against rifle hunting though. Whatever gets you out there! as long as its legal that is. Take the kids with you. We need 2 recruit young hunters or hunting will die with us.

It depends what you're hunting. I use a 22 for squirrels and a 12 gauge for deer and pigs. I also use a .308 and .243 for long shots on deer and pigs.

squirrel is really fun if you are looking for something not as time consuming, i squirrel hunt with a 22. Duck hunting is super fun but also very physically and financially demanding, i duck hunt with a 12 gauge shotgun
