favorite deer caliber

I would think most find the meat a good home. Many states offer donation of meat, we donate many to hunt for hungry. Drop Ar local processor and pay 20-25 bucks meat goes to families in need.

I hope the 358 win is gonna be.

.257 Roberts...On blacktails and mulies is does a fine job.

I'm getting ready to give my granddaughter a 257Roberts for Christmas. She's been shooting for a couple of years and now she wants to try deer hunting. The 257 came to mind, light recoil pretty decent ballistics . I also thought maybe 243 , but I think overall the 257 Roberts is a little bit better. Her parents, my son just moved to Kansas so she is going to be seeing some nice deer. But I'm thinking a heavier bullet and a good bullet should be enough. Fingers crossed

You can never go wrong with a 257.

270 hands down. My grandfather, dad and brothers all used 270's for many, many years and killed more deer with them, along with more than a few elk. I've also taken several caribou and black bears with mine, so was my primary for nearly 30 years.

243….This was back before I knew you needed a 900 magnum and a 750 solid to kill a white tail. We used to cull a lot of does on three different ranches and all I ever used was a 243 worked quite well. I still have that rifle and I still enjoy shooting it but I have many others therefore he gets a lot of safe time sitting on the bench just waiting for his turn to get to play

Whitetail Deer... .44 Mag and/or .30 WCF... Mule Deer... .257 Wby Mag and/or .308 Win If I went with "one" I guess from the above I'd use my .308 Win. Cheers

I think the Bob is the perfect youth cartridge ️
I love my 257 Roberts, Remington 760 with the trigger Done

My 300 a win Mag Browning BAR. It's all I hunted with from 19 years old to 40 years old. I don't even know how many deer and pigs it has killed.

I've killed several Mule Deer, about 40-50 Axis deer and I can't remember how many WT with my Rem 700 25-06. It loves the Hornady 117 grain bullets and they normally find their mark. 25-06 Rem for me most of the time

Mr Baker you're right on the money. I own 4 25-06 of every flavor. I shoot federal 115 grain partition. Love it.

 

[Reelamin]

I've killed the most deer with 22 cal. in 223 Rem, my favorite is 30 cal. in 30-06. That being said I killed my buck this year with a 300RUM.
