This is a trick question, right?
Of course you need a new gun to hunt deer. Just as you will need a new gun to hunt hog, quail, moose, bear, coyote, etc. etc.
Seriously, while the Garand is a good shooter and has the oomph to make it happen, its a bear to carry in the woods. I would not recommend trying to scope it, leave it as is.
I would go for a Win 70 or Rem 700 or model 7 in .308, or 7mm-08 or something like that. A good 2x7 or 3x9 scope will round out the package and all that's left is plenty of ammo for practice.
