Do any of you hunt deer with a 30-30?

Heck yeah! In more wooded areas where shots are typically 50-100 yds, a 30-30 is the perfect gun. Love mine, and love the "old west" look of it. For open country, you will probably want something a bit heftier for the 150+ yd shots though.

Great round.
I have several sets I hunt on my property. If I am in a stand back in the hardwoods I always use my 30-30. It is a great 100 yard and in round. Yes, you can definitely effectively reach farther but, I have other options for that. The 30-30 gives great penetration and expands effectively. Overall, the 30-30 is a classic whitetail round and will always be considered an adequate choice for big game.
