It sounds like to me that you got a pretty good set up for this area.

The 270 mag is a great round but frankly, in my opinion, too much gun for here. In the timber you won't be shooting 50 to 100 yds. max at a deer that weighs 150 lbs. (avg. doe wt. about 80lbs). My personal gun of choice for whitetail is a 30-30. Not too sexy, but very effective. I have a 7mm mag, but it only goes to Colorado now a days to roll muleys. You have a great gun, just my opinion.

I might suggest bow hunting if you don't already. This area is prime bowhunting due to topography and deer populations.

I thought WSM was "short mag"?

Ditto on bowhunting. Plenty of areas to get close.

Could give .270 a try.
