Both boys shoot 7/08.
I carry a Switchback XT when I hunt alone, which is rare.
My favorite caliber is 7mm Rem Mag pushing a 139 grain NP.
Ya'll are just overthinking it now

Y'all know I have been through tons of rifles in alotta different calibers but one I settled on that just flat out gets the job done is 25-06 shooting 117gr Hornady interloks..One rifle I'll never part with and it has out performed every other caliber I've ever used on deer. If anyone is interested, ^^^^^ this rifle will be for sale by next week.

Interested in the different calibers used for deer hunting beside the usual, 30-30, 30/06, 308, 270, 243, etc?
Also, the ones who shoot lever actions, some good calibers there. Heck I didn't know there was any other real deer killing caliber other than a 30-06

.270 the majority of the time, but this year I have a new stand with close shots so I use a .30-30.
A mans got to know his limitations.

25-06 or 7mag have been my go to’s this year.
I’ve got about 20 other rifles set up that I could take.
I’m really fighting an itch for a 338-06, 35 Whelen or 9.6-62

7mm-08, .270, .25-06, .260, 6.5 Creed, .308, .257wby
Favorite deer caliber and what I think is the perfect deer caliber for the Southeast 7mm-08. 2nd favorite is the .257WBY simply because its a laser and hits like lightning

Mostly a .30-06 or a .308. Occasionally I'll take out a .25-06 or a .500 Mag S&W. Haven't hunted with a .30-30 in years and years.

I’ve carried a bunch and shot deer with several. Shot the most with 30-06,7-08 and a fair amount with 50 cal muzzleloader. My next gun is going to be AR 300 BLK. I’m also hankering at the moment for a 20-ga. slug gun. Hope that yearning will pass.

not much beats a 6.5 these days
There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

Overwhelming majority of my deer are with a 20ga slug gun. Usually kill 1 per year (+,-) with a .50cal muzzleloader. Occasionally get to kill one with my 30-06.

For me it's 308, 308mx, 270, 6.8spc2, 223, 30/30 and 6.5 cm. the 308 bolt and the mx lever are my go to rifles and the 6.8 and 6.5cm is slowly moving up to the top.

'Huntress, BamBam, and I all deer hunt with .308's. I'll occasionally carry a .50 ML, and last year when we were down near Orlando, I hog hunted with .357 Magnums, handgun and lever gun.

I run a bunch of different guns depending on the situation. My favorite tree stand guns are a contender in 7-08 and a remy model seven in 7-08. If I'm not toting one of them it could be an AR in 5.56 or .300 BO. Close shots in pines I'll carry a 30-30. One of my leases got clear cut during the first part of the season so if I go there it could be 30.06, 308, 25.06 or 300WM.

7mm08 most of the time. it will do everything i need to do. But to switch things up i will tote a 35 remington or 20 ga with slugs.

The rifle I reach for the most this year is my new 338-06 Improved. It was built by John Gallagher in Jasper. I also like to use cartridges that are outside the norm. The list of rifles I've used is:
257 Roberts 7X57 7mm Rem Mag 308 Winchester 30-06 300 H & H Magnum 300 Winchester Magnum 300 Weatherby Magnum 338 Winchester Magnum 35 Whelen Improved 375 H & H Magnum
Bought a 264 Winchester Magnum this year but haven't used it yet.

I been using my little 30-30 and nothin else. I just love my little gun. Its light and small after using the others for so long. I left my scope off. Nice not having to be so careful with it. Its in nice shape but it feels good to carry a gun that i dont mind if i scratch it know what you mean . nothing fits in your hands quite like a 30-30

My go-tos are a trifecta of 7mm's: .280 Rem, 7mm-08, 7mm Mag. Occasionally a 25-06 or .308 for giggles.

anything over a 270 is overkill for a deer in Alabama. 270 is one of the best, if not the best, overall caliber in the lower 48. Dead is dead. None of the deer I've shot with 284, 308, 338, 358 or 375 caliber rifles have complained I was too rough on them.

I always grab my 30/30 first. I have a 270 and a .357 that I like to shoot too.

anything over a 223 is overkill for a deer in Alabama. 223 is one of the best, if not the best, overall caliber in the lower 48. FIFY
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

Browning Abolt gold 7mm rem mag for most stands, but if I am hunting a climber in thick woods I take my Ruger Super Redhawk. It is accurate to as far as I can see in the woods and it is a lot easier to tote in and carry with a stand.
I love my country, but don't trust my government.

I did fool with my wife, she practiced with the 243 that looks enough like the 7MM that she refused to shoot. I gave it to her to take her biggest buck....she was very proud of it and did not even notice until I told her and it did knock her back pretty damn good.
