To my view of deer hunting, the 30-06 is a bit much. It has more energy than is needed to topple a deer where shots are commonly taken at 100 yards or less. But for elk and moose, 30-06 is quite remarkable and efficient. It's recoil level is tolerable for many of us who can't shoot magnums very well. 30-06 with the right bullets is also a good choice for African game.
.308 seems to receive more press these days but the 30-06 has a very good reputation for taking game wherever animals are hunted.
