Deer Hunting Rifles – Which Ones Are Best?

Two categories of deer hunting rifle exist in North America – that of the Woods and Brush country rifle and that of the long range deer rifle. What is the difference between them?

Woods and Brush country rifles are produced with the medium-sized game in mind where, on average, the shot will be some where around 100 yards, and 200 yards at the most.

Deer Hunting Rifles Under $600

With deer hunting right around the corner you may be in the market for a rifle. If you are just getting into deer hunting or replacing old faithful, there is no reason you have to spend more than $600 to get a great rifle. The Savage 16FXP3 is a perfect example of a great deer hunting rifle for about $550. It comes with bore-sighted scope, AccuTrigger, and sling. Just add case and ammo. Granted you will probably want to upgrade the scope in the future especially if you have that nice tree stand on the edge of a large corn field.

For many hunters like me price and performance dictates what I purchase. I’m purchasing for function not good looks. I want something that will last, maintain accuracy, and hold up in any weather year after year, not something to hang above the mantle. Bolt action is the choice of many experienced hunters. Many times one shot is all you get, make it count. Semi-Auto rifles can be alluring but seldom practical.

Survivalist question?

james_spader_jr asked:

You are deer hunting in the woods in the middle of December in Colorado. You are 5 miles from camp and fall out of a tree stand and break your leg. You try to start the 4wheeler to get back to camp but it will not start. It is nearing dark, you have have a cigarette lighter, a pack of cigarettes, hunting gear and hunting knife. No cell phone or any survival gear. What do you do?

Real Hunters only?

maxx asked:


Isn’t it great that all the anti-hunters can’t have as much fun as we do. I went hunting in November and on the way to camp there were some people protesting deer hunting by a country store .They were standing out in the cold rain and we told them we were going to go to camp and have a big steak then sit around the fireplace and talk about what we were going to shoot tommorrow. Then two of my buddies mooned them and we drove away. Does anyone have a story they would like to share?
Speaking of drunk rednecks has anyone ever been to a Nascar race at Talladaga Raceway in Alabama.Thats the most rednecks I have ever seen and they party for days.
