Before you try to find a friend or two that have each caliber. That way you can try them before you buy them. You have plenty of time before deer season comes back in so there is no need to hurry up. The 357 would be a minimum choice for deer in my opinion and most folks can handle it fairly easily. The 44 is quite a bit more stout but still manageable. Team it up with a good lever action Marlin in the same caliber and you will have a good one-two punch combo.
