RE: is a 25-06 good for hunting deer?
use an 80-grain bullet and you can hunt coyote/fox, I suppose you could use it for Woodchuck if you really want to. And if you want to work on your accuracy, you can "dispatch" squirrels and prairie dogs with it. It was originally designed to be a pelt saver for coyote and what-not, as long as you use the right bullet, you'll only get a 1/4" hole in each side of the pelt, which is easily repairable.
In addition to small game, you can hunt larger game like elk, bighorn sheep and mountain goat. It's a great antelope round and it'll take a caribou/moose as well. It's all about shot placement, that bullet is travelling faster than the speed of sound and carries alot of energy, a few bones aren't going to stop it.
