None of the above, you can't use a centerfire where I live. I use a .50 cal inline or a 12 ga slug gun.

If I were to get a gun for up north I would probably get a .243.

Using one caliber for whitetail hunting is like wearing one set of clothes, or eating the same food over and over. Ive killed deer with, from smallest to largest:

.223
.243
.257 Roberts
6.5x55
.30/30
.30/06
7.62x54R
8x57
.38/40
.444 Marlin
.45/70
577/450
.45, 50, and .54 roundball.
Why limit yourself?

I guess I could only vote once.My primary rifle of choice is 30-06 but I just got a 6mm Rem this year and its deadly as well. I've taken several with a good 'ole 30-30 as well and 44 mag lever action and Ruger Super Blackhawk also Ruger Vaquero in 45LC. I also have a 308 M1 Garand that I won that I'd like to take a nice buck with. What about 25-06? I'm sure there'd be a few votes for that.
