Realistically, I'll be using a Ruger No.1 or my custom 700. The PPK pic was taken as a joke to parody the typical "James Bond lifestyle". Ever see bond wrap it up in a movie? Hence the anti-biotics ;)

If I get my act together its going to be my yugo mauser with zrack for shmoose, deer is going to be a 6.5x55 affair, wolves and coyotes are to be perused with a Ruger No1 218 Bee. I will likely jump a few ponds with the Norc lever 12ga and those pesky chikens with a tried and true 10/22. Only 22 more shopping days until hunting season. Good luck.
Even bond gets change ;)
You fellows are most spoiled, we folks in the republic of New Jersey, U.S.A. are not allowed to hunt deer with rifles. The great powers that be don't trust us hunting with guns of such power like a 6.5 X 55 or for that matter a .22 rf. We are allowed to use the mighty shotgun, yep, thats about it. Never take freedom lightly-SDH
There are lots of areas in Ontario where only shotguns or muzzleloaders can be used.
Shotgun only areas are based on the notion that because a shotgun slug has a shorter extreme range than a centrefire rifle, shotgun only hunting poses less of a risk than rifle hunting in semi-settled areas. Pennsylvania did a serious study about reported stray rounds. It turned out that there were a lot more reported stray shotgun slugs than rifle bullets. It would seem that the reduced risk idea is a fallacy. I do not know if this study involved only Foster type slugs, or the newer saboted or bullet style slugs fired from rifled barrels.
We will use a 303 #4#1, aJapanese 6.5 and a old Winchester 30.30.
