Opening day gun?

5 year old buck +
Wondering what everybody is taking out opening day? Technically opening day of fireams for me in NY is early muzzleloader in NY. Probably will take my new to me flintlock. Plan A was my good old glenfield model 30 in 30-30. However, the trigger is really stiff, Need to clean it and try it out good before I take her hunting again.
 
I spend the whole year deciding what guns I'm going to bring with me.
Which rifle I will use opening morning depends on where I go.
Where I go depends on how I do bow hunting and/or who else is with me in camp.

So I don't know.
 
Two week Early muzzleloader season a Traditions Nitro Fire , Firearm season Savage 116 Weather Warrior in .300 Savage
 
AR-15 most likely early youth season opens Saturday
 
Our gun season doesn't start until after Thanksgiving. I don't muzzleloader hunt anymore. Assuming I don't get something in archery, I'll probably take a Rem custom shop model seven MS in .308 this year. It went last year, but we never connected.

I am currently a deer snob, been one since around 2012. If I cant put an arrow through it then I am not shooting it. At least until my old body says no more. Then I will break out the .270 bolt action Savage in the weather warrior model and resume to shooting. Been my favorite big game caliber for a long time.
 
Two opening days for me. Opening day for VT rifle I'm carrying the venerable Remington 7600 Carbine in .30-06 with a Skinner peep....the stick shift of rifles.

MA shotgun opener I'm carrying my Savage 220 topped with a 1x6 Skinner.
