Being in MO, and based on the size of the deer, you dont NEED more than the 150s. However, as has been mentioned, I'd try the 150 and 170 just to see what the gun liked more.

For a period of time growing up in FL, I carried a Marlin 336 and used the 150s for both deer and hog. I never felt undergunned.
