There is an article in Rifleman magazine on this very topic and the autor of the article has used his 30.06 on just about everything that you listed. If you are a good shot with your .06, there is nothing that the bullet is not capable of. Basically if you are up to the task, the rifle is too. Sure, there are other guns that will almost certainly be better at taking a given animal, but who has the $$$ to buy all of these different guns just for hunting a different animal? Also, who has the time to be able to get good with all of those different guns? Not me, but I do have time to get good with one gun, get to know it and know what needs to be done in different situations to get the most out of it. The 30.06 is regarded by most as the most versitile gun around.
