I've only used a f150 (sorry for hitting your deer Switch) and a 2500hd to kill them in the truck calibers.

16 gauge shotgun w/slug, .30-30.
If I get one this year it will either be with a .50 muzzle loader, an 8mm Mauser, or a bow.

Uh... here go's...killed game sumwhere's with these calibers over the last 40+ years ...
223 Rem, killed a couple feeder fed does & allus had to track 'em
243 1st real deer rifle, very accurate & killed more than a few critters from the mid 60's and early 70's, moved on after too much tracking got tiresome despite perfect hits with available reloads and factory ammo
6mm borrowed a buddy's rifle, see 243 comments
257 Rbts killed lots and lots Texas critters for about 10-15 years
25-06 ...liked my 270's better
6.5x55 Swede kills mo quicker/bigger than it should for it's size, very very efficient on WT's in my current T3
270 Win my "go to" Texas caliber for 40+ years & my current T3 will prolly go into my casket with me...unless I can get a Cooper for the trip, screw my heirs
7x57 good caliber, needs euro ammo or reloads as US ammo is lame
30-30 in a pre'64 beater was worth more to sumbody else
308 good caliber I'd use anywhere up to & including elk in 165's
30-06 dependable solid performance & death on moose too in 200's
300WMg can be messy but another go to favorite for longer shots, best 30 cal
300Wby can be mess-ier than the WMg but a great caliber
8x57 good caliber with the right boolitz and a decent rifle
9.3x62 what a trip for a deer shooter ! just outstanding for anything up to & including Coastal Grizz, Bison and Cape Buff's with Best Quality bullets. Gave a 2 1/2 yr old 9+" tall WT spike a 35' airborn "doodlebug ride" last year, yet left only a 50 cent piece sized exit hole. Gonna give a BIG Hog a DRT dirt nap for sure first chance I get.
Happy Trails

thats a lot of different rounds! you have access to alot of guns? I've shot deer with a bunch of different rifles, problem is they all are chambered for the .22-250 or a .270!
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.
