I agree with ya HDW 30-30 I know rebel he said smaller but that round is perfect fit for the range at hand.I would also consider the .44 mag in a lever gun .Just seems to work.Hell even a .243 loaded with 117 grain bullets would work.Lots of choices but I would still fall back toa 30-30.
maybe we are just a bit byist towards the 30-30 too, since it is the Missouri state caliber and us being a couple a missouri farm boys..... lol
everyone back home i know has a 30-30 and for good reason too it works for every terrain anywhere in the state of missouri.
Ive shot more missouri whitetail with my 308, but I have carried my 30-30 on more hunts then i can remember just because its such a handy little carbine. especially when im hunting in bosworth my 30-30 is my choice of gun for that area 10 to 1, in the bosworth area I have never had to take a shot further then 40 to 50 yards. infact my last deer i shot out there was a 15 yard shot.
