Best Caliber for Deer and maybe larger

Cory Brown that is my wish too! I was luck to have him until I was 46 but I wish I would’ve listened with more realization in my younger years!
ND Mike isn’t it funny how our parents got smarter as we got older!

GWG8541 yep! My Dad and I didn’t get along real well until I was about 22. It took me until then to realize the Old Man was pretty smart!

ND Mike Had the same issues until I left home, then realize he just wanted the best for me.

bocephus its funny when you are 18 and think you know everything! As you get older almost everything you stood for at 18 really isn’t all that important now.

I think that’s what they call “growing up”.

processhead yep! It’s sad that some parents and kids can’t reconcile those differences while we are growing up.

So, like I said I am trying to make this the year I actually get out deer hunting, did it twice when I was a kid in upstate NY but that was almost 25 years ago. I am looking at a rifle that is good for deer and possibly Elk. Right now I am looking between 7mm, 30-06, or 6.5 Creedmoor. I don’t care much about preserving for the mount, more concerned with the ability to possibly go after larger game.
Hopefully I am not about to start a riot.
Jonathon I use a 30-06 and have bagged so many deer and elk I can’t even count. That being said, I can almost always find ammo for it too, many others are always sold out in stores.
GO GET EM! -
Love my 270 flat shooting no recoil and drops em right there without wasting a lot of meat.

ND Mike You think you have so much figured out & your on a straight path, then I realize that the older I get, the more I don’t know. Good thing most everyone else is getting smarter, because I seem to realize that I am not so smart after all & still finding out there is a whole lot left to learn.

Brother, I think that is the definition of getting smarter, finally realizing how much you don’t know and seeking help.
I had a conversation yesterday about walking the path God sets out for us. I love the word “walk”. As a parent, when our kids are learning to “walk” do we get mad when they take 2 steps and fall? No sir, we are excited about the progress they make, not their falls. The same is with God…
The only person that ever walked the path straight was Jesus, and even He questioned it. For me, my goal is to veer off the path He has for me less, and see that I am off the path sooner so I can get back on it.

calldoctoday yep…we can never stop learning!

Cory Brown very well said and I fully agree with you!

ND Mike I agree, my dad and I were very close after I left home. Usually spent a week with him in the summer after I moved away, just he and I and talked about so much. My siblings were surprised at the stories I told them after he passed. Many friends say that I am a lot like him now and I take that with deep respect.
