357 for Hunting DeerWhat About Using a 357 For Hunting Deer?"What's the best caliber gun?," Drew Boyles repeated as if to clarify the question. "And are you asking about using a 357 for hunting deer?"
Of course accuracy at any range is important when out in the woods. Think about it. Isn't getting off an accurate shot what determines whether you have venison on the table that winter or not? Sure it is. Naturally when trying to shoot through cover, maybe into shadows or under poor lighting conditions, with your heart pumping a mile a minute, it's not the gun that makes the hunter. It's more like the hunter that makes the gun, right? Plus picking the right caliber and scopes is something to consider too. The best calibers for white tail bucks, like Drew mentioned, include the .243 .270 and .308 Winchester or the 30-06 Springfield. Those four are by far most popular with the deer crowd. Remember too, when it comes to scopes, don't make the mistake of going for too much magnification. Problem is, with greater magnification comes a restricted field of view. Which can cause you to delay zeroing in on your target. And delay can sometimes mean opportunity lost. See? That's another of the other lesser known whitetail deer hunting tips to keep in mind.
