RE: 30.06 too much?
I hunt for fur all-times, so the 30-06 is not even close to a caliber that I would pick, if you want to have a small hole with good shot placement. Then use something like a .223 Ackley, .220 swift, .204 ruger*, .17 rem.*. I wouldnt even try to use a .22 long or a .22 mag for them. Not even the .17 HMR.
