How about we members list our "Tried & True" gun/calibers for the animals we hunt?
Mine are as follows,
    DEER/GROUNDHOGS -- Win. M-70 Push Feed bolt, black fiberglass stock,
    Bushnell 3x9 scope in .30-06.  For the far shots !
    Ruger Redhawk S.S.  5 1/2" bbl .44 Mag for the closer ones.     

The Ruger is always with me no matter what I'm hunting though.
I use both guns for both animals.
   
My 13 yr son uses,
     DEER -- Win. M-94 Lever Action, Simmons 4x scope .30-30 
     .30-30 Win.    
     GROUNDHOGS -- New England Firearms Sportser Model blk fiberglass
     stock with a 3x9 Tasco scope in .22 Win Mag.
     S & W J-Frame M-642 2" S.S. .38 spl to finish off the wounded Hogs
     when we walk up to em'. (He always gets this job).

Nothin' fancy, but they work for us.
