Hunting deer, no matter what kind can be totally different from one place to the other. I elk hunt the mountains of CO with a Sendero, at times I wish it had wheels.
That is so true...My Sendero was a 308 and it was very accurate...My best friend at the time just had a custom built on a 700 action in 308 that shot as well. Used his for a few days and the Sendero went bye bye. I like something that is lightning quick both in shotguns and rifles and I didnt need something to shoot deer at 400 yards at least where I whitetail hunt. Most of my shots on whitetailsaverage 30-60 yards with the occasional 100+ yard shot. I have shot only one mule deer at 100+ yards most were nearer to 200 yards and one really good one stretched it to nearly 300.
