So what will you be carrying into the woods on Saturday morning, and why?
I've decided to go with my first deer rifle, a Remington ADL .270 and Remington Core Lokt, 130 gr ammo. Both have been good and depenable, at least to me.

If I hunt the stand I plan to with no shots over about 300yds then I'm taking the WBY Accumark 257roy shooting 100gr hornady spire points.
If I decide at the last minute I need to stick to the open field for bucks cruising then I'll take a Remington 700 XCR I in 270wsm shooting 140gr Accubonds.
If my wife oversleeps or for some reason can't go then it'll be a Remington AWR II 300RUM shooting 180gr Accubonds.

Remington 700 in 30-06 with 150 gr. core lokt is my old go to gun, but I have a new to me Remington 700 in .243 with 100 gr. core lokts that I may use if I can get to the range before the opener.

Having said that, shot placement is key and there is only one level of dead. Us east Texans can't afford turquoise and elk ivories for jewelry. So we use hog tushes and coon peckers.
