I like the 7mm better than the 06 too, and i've shot deer, caribou ect. with both calibers. The 7mm will have a bit less recoil, and in this case, the 7-08 will come in a short action gun instead of a long action the 06 comes in. (assumeing your talking bolt action guns)
Both are excelent, but for deer-blk bear sized game, the 7mm would be my choise just because of the lower recoil.

30-06 Sprg. Good luck.

i personally think if your shots are under 200yds and under 100yds are the norm. go with a NON-MAGNUM.
the magnum does better out past 200yds. JMHO

I'd get the 30.06 and never think twice about it, great caliber!

I would take the 7mm-08 or 7mmremmag over the 30-06 for deer hunting.

The 7MM-08 has got to be one of the greatest gun marriages in history!
The 7MM bullet in a short action .308 case! It's a deer hunters dream! With the 7MM-08 you get a cartridge that will take any deer, at any range! Flat shooting, without the magnum blast or recoil! Oh yea, it will take larger game to, within reasonable ranges!

If you are talking about the 7mm Rem. mag. vs the .30/'06, the way the factories are loading the 7 Rem. Mag. these days, the '06 is every bit as good, if not a little better. However, if you handload, the 7 Mag. can be loaded to give you a little bit flatter trajectory than the '06, at extended ranges! But with a 200 or 220-grain Nosler handloaded to the max. in an '06, you have an extremely effective weapon for all game in North America except perhaps the biggest brown bears. It would also do very well in Africa for anything except Cape Buffalo, elephant, rhino and hippos.
