No camp this year. Too much going on but so far I've carried a 700 ADL in 30-06 , 700 Mountain rifle in 06 and a 7600 carbine in 06. The carbine has accounted for the only kills , 2 does and a decent 8 point. Still have a little over a month of gun season and 3 tags. Hope to get something else on the board

Not a "camp", but six of us went this afternoon with the intention of killing a few does off my buddy's property. We had a pretty eclectic mix of rifles today:
7.5x55 Swiss - T/C Encore (me)
.308 Win - Whidden custom Remington 700
6.5 Man-Bun - Savage Axis (the rube of the bunch)
.350 Rem Mag - Remington Seven MS
.450 Marlin - E.R. Shaw custom
.280 Rem - Remington 700 SS
Unfortunately, only the .308 drew blood today...

On the last weekend in PA I finally gave in and shot a doe with a marlin 45-70.
We had a nice 7 point taken on the last afternoon with a Remington 760 in 30-06 (best $200 he ever spent he says!)
And another doe with a marlin 30-30
