open range hunting .17 up to a .243 calber. High fence hunting go from a slingshot up to a .50 caliber. Its not really a sport anyhow.

Whatever you have that you can accurately shoot out to about 300 yards. Like others, I tend to carry a shotgun at night  as well as they can sneak up on you better during low light conditions. Otherwise, I only carry a rifle.

If you are trying to save fur, then shoot a .17 centerfire or .204 or something that will either open up on the inside of the animal and not exit or a heavy bullet that will pass through.

If you can get them in tight, then a shotgun works well, but this is the exception and I wouldn't call it the norm.

mk19 grenade launcher.

seriously tho anything you got in the gun cabinet will do the trick from a bow to a precision long range rifle.

When prices are pretty much zero then shoot whatever imho.     I'm gonna try my new .17 hmr soon.

anything you can hit them with. Rocks work too. Or your pickup (or your dad's pickup, just get permission)
