There is not need for a 308 on white tails, it is a great gun but it is not the minimum caliber.
It's MY minimum caliber. I've seen too many deer shot with .243's run off to suffer and die and not be recovered. My deer guns are 30-06's. With my hand loads in my rifles I'm confident in it out to 300 yds. I've killed a lot of deer with a 30-06 and so far never lost one or had to track one.

you do not need a cannon to kill deer
I never said you did. A .308 is not a cannon. It is a very good, very accurate round for deer tho. Much better than the others you listed. IMHO of course.

When I feel the need to deer hunt with a cannon I'll take my .58 Enfield and I'll get just as many deer with it as you do your scoped inline.
