RE: Only one caliber for the rest of your life.
 

Well since I only deer hunt with rifle and all my shots are 100 yards or less I will step out on an old mans limb and say a 30-30, second choice would be an 06.

I seem to be a loner on this poll. But the best all around caliber for me would be the .35 Whelen. It' s an oversized 30-06, but on steroids. can go to 250gr. or down to 158 cast. If you don' t like recoil, downsize loads to the 35 Remington. Paco Kelly even downed an elephant with this caliber, so it would work on safari. Remington did a lot of hunters a favor.

12ga. I like to turkey hunt too.

and a slug makes a mighty big hole.

That is a scary thought, I' ve had nightmares that were not that bad. One caliber, that makes me want to cry. 30-06 or .308

RE: Only one caliber for the rest of your life.
 

I' ve used the 30.06 for the last 26 years, so why change. It' s a good all around caliber. I' ve used it for anything from ground hogs to black bear.

7mm Rem mag if we' re talking deer only and the same if you throw in some elk. For an all around North American game killer I would say 300 win mag.

.270 by far

My Remington .270 would have to be my choice.
