It is interesting that 4th place in the poll is held done by "OTHER". shows that there are a lot of different cartridges that are used by "deer hunters".

Now many hunters use a rifle for "deer hunting" when they may have bought it with moose, elk, bear and other game in mind. "and deer" So the poll maybe does not show what hunters would prefer "Just For Deer". The one rifle they own is the one they use for everything so it is naturally their favorite "deer cartridge".
