I just can't get to the one gun. Minimum would be 3. A 22 c.f. For coyote hunting ( pelt saver) a lever action 45-70 for stand hunting,still hunting,and big bear gun. Finally a long barrel fast magnum in either 7mm or 300. Only reason I choose a magnum over a std cartridge is the capability at longer range. The short handy gun would handle thick bush hunting and sitting in a tree situation. The long rifle would handle everything from bean fields to mountain tops. For all the different hunting styles I do one rifle just can't be perfect for all situations. Could they be made to work? yup. Is there a better tool for the job? Yup. Would I want to go into the thick stuff for a wounded bear with a 7-08....Not my first choice. Would I hunt bear with a 7-08? You bet. For me there's necessity for a few different calibers but more importantly a few different platforms to cover my hunting styles.
