Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

I’m living overseas but my friends and family back in MO say the weather is garbage for hunting this year. As the weird guy who has never owned a 30-06, I’ve killed deer with .223, .243, 6.5cm, .270, 30-30, .308, and 35. All did the job but will concede .223 isn’t ideal. Hope you guys land some big bucks this year.
