Cool thread here!

I'm kinda new at this whole deer hunting thing but in my short "career" I've killed a deer with a few different calibers and weapons.

Before this year I only owned a 12 gauge with a rifled slug barrel and a bow. At the beginning of the season I traded for a .270 on here as my first rifle.

I've now killed with:

.270
12 gauge
Bow
Friend's .308
Friend's 7mm-08
And girlfriend's .243

Interestingly the only deer I've ever shot that didn't even flinch was with the .243.

.280 Ackley, .257 Roberts, 7mm-08, .308, .25-06

I like them all, and for deer at ranges less than 300 yards, all kill like a hammer.

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 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.
