My uncle has about 6 rifles, and he's got a few bows, too.

He recommended a .270 to begin with, and said I could even borrow his... but it's not until next Fall, so I just wanted to start looking around, learn a little about what is and is not a good deer rifle.

He hunts for 2 weeks every year in the south east corner of Wisconsin

I would be hunting in Iowa once I knew what I was doing and was able to do it on my own
