270 wby. Not that you need much power to kill a deer. But in South Texas where I hunt, you don't want to have took for him. Hasbeen
As someone who HAS hunted South Texas, I completely agree. Maneuvering through mesquite thorns, cactus, snakes, etc is a good way to lose a deer if it goes very far. In the brush country, I'll take velocity and quick expanding bullets.
