Says the star licker telling the OP to use a 223 even tho it's illegal in his state. You really are some special kinda shit pile throwing out advice.
Do all hunters a favor and fuck off...
I don’t know a single hunter who uses a magnum. Prolly the most common I see is 30-06, 243, 308 or 270. Prolly more 270 than anything… excellent deer cartridge.
I know I’m a fudd…
But really Stevo, we all know the 1/4 bore is where is really is at
I’ve killed a lot of deer with a win94 30-30 and a savage bolt action 30-30. In the thick woods no need for much else
Probably best to stay away from those outfits. They may tell you a three year old deer is a trophy.
My uncle shot a 300 weatherby with 125 grain bullets for deer. He was a big man and absorbed recoil. By contrast, I feel like the rotation of the earth downshifts when I touch the trigger on that gun.
Around here, 270 win and 30-06 are pretty ubiquitous. After hunting with a 6.5 Grendel for the better part of a decade, any long action cartridge really seems like overkill.
That said, I drew a hunt and the hunt rules stipulate a minumum of 270 caliber and 150 grain bullets. So, dusting of the long action.
A lot of the guides I know set the 30-06 as a minimum. Not sure why, other then it's what they feel like.

6.5C is a great deer round. My kids moved up to a 6.5C and a 7SAC (necked up C) after they got big enough for bigger guns around 10 years old. Before that they killed their first 25+ with a .223 and Barnes all copper 53 grain bullets. Placement, placement is what I teach. Shoot the shoulder mid to high with any decent bullet in most any centerfire. Tailor the shot range to the catridge. Can't run far without a working front leg and bone chunks take out the heart and/or lungs. We have a liberal season of 6 per person. so our sample size is big. We eat a lot of deer. The 6.5C would serve her well. Good bullets available, mild recoil, kills very well for us far past ranges she will be shooting I expect.

Well all you Annie Oakley types listen up ;
IF You want to find out just how deadly your aim is ,I suggest save up some pennies and hire a chopper and do some Feral Hog smacking down TX. way . You'll soon see shooting off a bench , kneeling or prone is easy . Afterwards you'll sing a different tune swinging around on a yo-yo . Tip take 2-3 times the ammo beyond what you expect .

Shit, there ain’t a herd of hogs in the world that I’m mad enough at to pay for a heli hog hunt. Not even if they had an in-her-prime Jenna Jameson sucking me off for the duration of the flight.

Guides are paid to find animals and get clients in range of them. A hell of a lot goes into that. And none of it requires an understanding of ballistics if they don't want to learn. My experience talking to guides is they're about as well-informed about terminal (and external) ballistics as guys who get paid to write about "knockdown power" in hunting magazines. You also should consider that their clients generally suck at shooting. So they go in the wrong direction, trying to make up for that with bigger cartridges instead of smaller ones that clients will shoot better.
No head for heights
I was invited and wasn't picking up the tab . Now it was different than slinging an M60 out the bay on the dope rope spraying ground . The object was shoot and a hog went down . Reality was a # of shots before Hogs went down .It's tricky when they're running and you're also moving , especially turning to make another run . It was FUN but in all honesty I'd rather have been on the ground with a thermal and no doubt would have been 10 times more successful .
