I've had a Ithica Model 97, 12 gauge for about 10 years now and love it for deer. I've been thinking about buying a new barrel for it so i can hunt turkeys with it. Right now i prefer a Remington 870 express for gobblers.
Slug Gun Favorites
Just curious as to what all of your favorite deer gun is...whether is a ML or shotgun. I normally use my CVA Magbolt 150 50 cal. but bought an H&R Ultra Slug gun this week. Really excited about using that this year. I have 13 guns, including 3 other slug guns but just like shooting a single shot for some reason. so i guess the cva will be jealous when i sleep with the new 12 ga. this year night before season opener instead

Guns
My primary deer gun is a 50 cal Knight Wolverine II, shooting 265 grain TC Sphire point ballistic tips. I like the Muzzleloader for long range shooting and improved accuracy. I have a Simmons 6X24X50 on top and a Harris bipod underneat this piece... it's a wickedly accurate gun. I've had three Knight's and loved them all... this is my newest. Took this buck at 140 yards, my average yardage on four deer this year was 137 yards!! :coolgleam

Just for old times sake I'll get out a Browning and kill a deer each year... I've had two browning BPS's and I really like them both. When I do feel nestalgic I usually use the following;
Browning 12 Gauge BPS shooting Winchester SuperX (2-3/4" or 3")
(Can't find a deer picture with the BPS in it... you'll have to use your imagination) :biggrin:

I used a Marlin blot action for several years. I get sub 2" groups @ 100 yards. I just bought a Thompson Encore with a slug barrel. Looking forward to seeing if it will do as good as everyone says.
Lightfield slugs have never let me down yet.

For last 5 years I've been using same setup as many of the guys, an old Mossbeg Model 500 with smooth bore slug barrel and Remington 1 oz slugs (or Federal 1 oz). I've got a Simmons "Whitetailer" scope, 1.5 x 5 variable. The gun kicks like a dang mule, but it only hurts during practice. Last 3 deer killed have only required 1 shot each, and I never felt the kick on any of 'em. :tongue:
