RE: Deer rifle, 30-06, 308, or...?????
I have killed at least 12 deer with my .308 and I killed 4 with a 30 06. The thing I have learned along the way is dont listen to the so called experts on where to shoot your deer. The .308 in 150 grain will penetrate the front side shoulder or ribs and will be under the hide on the back side with a corelokt bullet, thus transfereing the energy into the deer. Now about shot placement if the deer is not going to be put on the wall, and you like where he is standing shoot him in the neck will not move but straight down,another shot I like is in the fold of neck and shoulder, depending on angle same results. I used to only shoot deer in the heart, but deer run like crazy when shot in the heart and in my case always down a hill into a thicket where it is hard to get them out. Hopefully this was helpful
