Top 3 Deer Calibers - A Research Study

[bigern26]

I am doing research across multiple forums, social media and other avenues.

I am asking people to list their top 3 cartridges for whitetail and mule deer and State or region you hunt.

I posted this in GD to hopefully get the most responses.

Thank you in advance for participating.
