Deer season opens on Saturday. I will be out hunting Blacktails in the Sierra Nevada mountains (small deer). We will be doing some drives. Shots are rarely 100 yards. Most are under 50. Which of my two rifles suited for the task should I carry- my Remington Model 7 in .308 with its Vari-X III or my Marlin 1894P "baby guide gun" in .44 magnum with open sights?
I shoot 150 grain rounds for "thin-skinned game in the .308 and 270 grain Gold Dots in the .44.
We will be hiking through dense forest for miles and miles. I have never shot a deer with the .44 before.
I will carry whatever the majority rules.
