What's your go to deer caliber?

[Jumpman]

I've always used a 30-06, just because I've never had the opportunity to use anything else. What do you guys prefer?

[Qtrborecrazy]

257 weatherby, 270 wsm, 7mm08, 308, 264 win mag, 35 rem, 30-30, depends on weather and terrain.

[Gunsnwater]

30-06 merica! Did use 45-70 occasionally.

[Swamp Fox]

.30-06, .44 magnum.

[MOUNTAINORACLE]

Depends on where I hunting them anything from .257 Roberts to 45-70 Govit. Mostly in thick brush something like 35 Rem or 45-70; long range shooting 200 plus yards .25-06, 7mm Mag, 300 Win mag, etc. Normal hunting range less than 100 yards 32 Special, 30-30, 308, 7mm-06

My old .280 Rem handloaded.

[Hokkmike]

6.5x55 - Accuracy of a .22-250, recoil of a .243, and knock down power of a .270.

"This side towards deer"

Occasionally I used a Buick or F250

[daschnoz]

308WIN or 50 caliber front stuffer with patched round ball. I do bring the 12ga with slugs when I go somewhere that is a bit of a haul from home as a backup, but so far I've never needed to use it. I've toyed with the idea of carrying the M44, but never seem to think about it when there is enough time before the season to order soft points.

I have taken deer with 32 special, 308win, and 280 rem. 280 rem with handloads is my go to.
