Wow, I never thought about need when it comes to deer rifles. I love rifles and love to shoot them. Currently in the safe:
257 Roberts
280 AI
308 Win
30.06
300 Win Mag
7x57 mm Mauser
6.8 SPC
I hunt with all but the 280 AI has always been my favorite for deer.

Mule deer
Black tail
White tail
Coues
Sitka and if in Texas
Fallow
and
Axis
So 7 would be about right. There are bucks and does for each of those, which makes it 14.

Enough to get the job done, but not enough to quit buying yet. I have in the past several years started to move to lighter rifles as my hunting style has changed from mostly stand hunting to spot and stalk.

Well, there are my current primary deer rifles in 30-30 and .308. Then my old .308, a .250 and a .280 that are available. And I did shoot a deer with my .350 rem mag, so I guess that counts. So.....at least SIX! No, maybe seven - I could really use a 300 savage.

Bows are for indians, you silly white boy... 
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Get a light bolt action in 30/06,270,280,308 or 7/08.
Use it everywhere.
Done.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
