Got an identical pair of Model 70 Featherweights in .308, taking them both. They even like the same ammo. Also taking a .257Wby in case I decide to sit the long stand.

WOW....I guess you have to play with your toys at some point. Sounds like some of you have shootout fantasies with getting into some gun fight or something out here in the "Wild West"....  Sounds like you just don't get it.......

Always carry my 308 and most of the time I take my AR15 out with me. Since I'm in a box blind this year, I might actually take both to the blind in case of pigs.
my 1911 is usually along for the ride as well.

Lol I bring a rifle and the truck pistol. If it's a long stay, I usually make sure one of us a spare rifle.

The amount of stuff I carry to the stand Saturday will be inversely proportionate to how far I have to walk due to the 20+ inches of rain in the last 2 weeks.

Rem 700 in 308 for deer Rem 700 in 308 in case I want to pop a few hogs Lol that'll do it. My 308 is bolt action. Ar-15 works a hell of a lot better for getting several hogs lol. 308 AR might be my next build

Two rifles, one for me and one for my grandson along with one pistol. Same here, .300 BO for grandson, .308 for me. I also carry a Ruger .44 mag just in case I get a very close shot.

Depends on how far I'm traveling but usually my T/C 300 win mag and my AR10 are my two that get loaded every time. One in the blind and one in the truck as backup. Sometimes I'll throw the 243 and 22 in just for some fun. Mostly just my Mathews with a few sharp sticks and my Glock 23.

I will take my main hunting rifle and one backup, an AR for poking around at night looking for the pigs, and one pistol besides my truck pistol if the main focus for the weekend is hunting. When I actually go to hunt I will have my main rifle and a pistol, normally either a 1911 or USP45. Now if we are just going to the ranch for the weekend and we are planning on doing some shooting then all bets are off.  I have gone out there for a long weekend and had 12-14 different firearms with me, why have them if you are not going to take them out and use em' from time to time? I have no safe queens...
