Did I miss something, or is there now an elk season in TN?
I will be taking my "squirrel gun" as my son makes fun of me, (he has a 30-06 A Bolt) a Remington Mountain DM in obvious 7mm-08.

I mainly got it for the cool factor, most likely shoot me a yearling doe with it. I wouldnt want it to run off LOL.
Funny thing my go to rifle is my 700 260 REM
I would rather tote it than anything I own
Then there is the 7 mm Claunch Mag for special occasions

The rifle season opens up here in 10 days, I will probably choose the Rem. 700 in the .300 Sav over my Ruger M77 in 7mm mag.
I really like that .300 Sav.

One of my Model 70's. More than likely it will be my 270 WSM. The 7mm WSM is in a close 2nd.

I'll be toting an AR-15 in .223 Remington. I'll be shooting my buck with 60gr Nosler partitions from Black Hills ammo. Within 200m I'm certain to see a fold and fall with this combination. The aught6 and .308 will have to wait until the second and third day.
