I've downed many large animals with my Savage .308 rifle including a bull moose and two caribou during a hunt to Saskatchewan. Seven elk within the Bear Lodge Mts. of Wyoming and a big black bear in Ontario. None required more than two shots through the chest organs. But for deer, I feel that the .308 is a bit too much power and have switched over to my 30-30 carbine.
