Small calibers are good for most Alabama deer, especially sitting on an open field with a rest from a shooting house. Grandma could probably kill most of those deer with a 65 grain bullet.  For freehanded woods hunting, walking deer, and at an angle I would want a larger caliber for a 200 pound rutting buck. A perfect shot may never happen on some of the places I have hunted, you usually don't get to sit and watch a deer all season long. If you get a decent shot you had better take it! Found too many never recovered from folks using small calibers with marginal shots that could have been possibly recovered, even with marginal shots with a larger caliber. A larger caliber can drop a deer and give you a second shot, whereas a smaller caliber may make the recovery nearly impossible. Now there is a time to let one walk, but a little extra lead may be able to compensate for a slight human error if a decent shot does arise.
