This topic has been discussed around hunting camps sincehunting began, but it is a very good topic. When I am going hunting I take into account what game I am after and how tuff that game is or can be. For small game and birds, I usually use a shotgun;
squirrels=410ga pump #4 or #6 shot
rabbits=410ga or 20ga pump or auto #4 or #6 shot
small birds= 20ga auto #6, #71/2, or #8shot
Turkey=12ga pump 3inch mag #4 shot
Now if I am after varments:
Fox, Cyot, Bobcat etc. = 22-250Rem  with 55gr Hornady's; 243Win with 85gr Nosler
                                         270Win with 90gr TNT HP
Now for Big Game:
Deer, Antalope etc. = 270Win 130gr Nosler Partition, 130gr Speer Spitz BTSP
Elk, Moose, Bear = 340 Weatherby Magum with 225gr BearClaws, or 250gr Nosler Partitions.
