There was a long discussion on the subject in the Serious forum last year about this time. I have used a 308 as my primary deer rifle all my life, and long ago quit experimenting with it. With factory loads, a deer will never know the difference in a 308 or 30-06. It's easy to develop 308 hand loads that as fast as 30-06 factory loads when dealing with 150g bullets. That's the size where they are close to equal; the advantage goes to 30-06 in heavier bullets, but we have no moose in AL so that never mattered to me.
But by far, the biggest advantage it has over a 30-06 is the short action. I would never choose a long action for AL deer hunting.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
