The OP did not say anything about still hunting in timber and that's why some of us have suggested the .300 or .338 if he has no problem with them like he stated to start the thread. I use a 30-06 most of the time but also have other calibers for certain types of hunting and yet I recommend others depending on the situation. You hunt heavy cover with a smokepole and open sights, so obviously you wouldn't recommend those big calibers with scopes for your type hunting. He may be taking a 400+ yard quartering shot by necessity where he will be going. Which would you use in that instance if you had the choice between the .308 or the bigger calibers that can drive a bigger bullet deeper into the vitals if he can shoot both accurately?
