Planning on going whitetail hunting in South Texas this fall.
I currently have a Yugo SKS and a M48 Mauser.
My question is, are either of these guns suited for taking deer? Or should I get a different rifle (and if so, which one?)
Hunting down here is generally 'brush hunting'. The Yugo is long and heavy.
The Mauser, I fear, is too much gun for the small deer we have around here.
So, any thoughts? Also, what are some good hunting rounds for the calibers you recommend.
NOTE: I just had a small windfall this month. I could spend as much as $500 to acquire a new rifle, if needs be.
