In OH, if deer hunting is your goal, I think your best bet would be a 45 Colt or 44 mag lever action. This is a good 0-150 yd deer gun and we will probably be allowed to hunt with them in OH soon, based on the talk around here.

If you want a more traditional high power rifle, 243 Win, 260 Rem, and 308 Win would all make nice rounds for neighboring states and accurate reloading.
