3006 or 300 with 180gr NP. You will sleep better knowing you brought plenty of gun and premium bullets. One less thing to worry about in life.

The northern deer are larger for sure. They die just like those in Texas however. I would recommend that you take something in the neigherhood of a 270 or 308 in order to make sure that you have enough gun to reach out and touch them. The distance that you will be shooting will make some difference in your choice, but I know that a 270 up to a 3006 will get the job done. Good luck and shoot straight.

Mostly good advice above. Several Elk have been killed with 243s and 30-30s. If I were buying a rifle I'd go with the 30-06 because it is probably the most versatile cal. out there and ammo is generally easy to find. Also to paraphrase a statement I once read, "it will kill a moose or a mouse just as dead".
