    I chose "Other" since the 7mm listed in the poll might mean 7mm Rem Mag and I'm using the 7mm-08, which I think is a perfect SC Whitetail round.

    I've shot a dirty naught six since I was 14. Every deer I've ever killed with a rifle has been killed with that caliber.

    That being said, I am currently dialing in a 25/06 that I just bought and so far it's makin' my weener move a little. Very accurate little gun.

    I voted dirty naught only because I've yet to draw blood with the 25/06.

    Damn Glenn. Is sex good with a rifle? I always thought that hole would be too tight.

    I can put an oyster in a parking meter.

    You just have to be creative.

    Take a buddy out shooting with ya and let the load the rifle for ya, one round at a time. Tell 'em to mix in an empty chamber on your ass ever so often...pretty soon you'll get tired of looking like a damn vagina and the flinches will go away. Unless, of course, you ARE a vagina in which case God only knows what might happen. Try it. It works.

    Or you could try puttin your purse between the gun and your shoulder. This is how other women do it.

    Yeah - thats some good fun right there and it really does make you a better shot.

    I like .270 (.270 WSM right now). I also would like to get an old Belgium made Browning BAR in the naughty oughty here in the not too distant future. Would make a fine "field gun" for doe slayin. 5 come out, none make it to the woodline.

    I agree with you walt on the 30 ought BAR. My dad has one and I killed my first buck with it. That gun will throw some lead.

    I have no favorite. I use different stuff 'cause it moves me. There are more good deer calibers than hookers on Two Notch.

    it's just deer hunting... if it was Syrians I'd worry about the actual ballistics.
