Not all of us. Some of us are able to avoid the hype and make sane decisions about deer cartridges. I use a .243 Win....
A lot of us also hunt western game and a lot of us like to use one gun on everything..there is no such thing as the all around gun in my opinion if one were to hunt in all types of terrain andon all types of Deer and Elk.
Yes, but, this thread is not about "all types of deer and elk." It's about whitetails. As for your "all around gun opinion", I would venture to guess that the .30-06, the .308, the 7mm Rem Mag, and any of the various .300 Mags would fill that bill quite nicely.
