A 30/06 won't kill anything anymore. How all those animals died in the past must've been magic. For deer, a 7mm Rem Mag is the absolute MINIMUM and it must have a premium type bullet these days. For elk, man they really have gotten tough in the last 20 years, so you'll need at least a 338 RUM with a 250gr bullet and need to limit your shots to under 300 yards or else the bullet will just bounce off.
