Anyone use a 30. carbine for deer?

Hello,
The GICarbine was called inadequate for military use during the war.We now know that it actually was a good weapon,and continued in use as long as the Garand .
We hear the same thing about using the GICarbine for deer hunting.If it is used properly it is a good deer killer.
If you shoot most of your deer under 100 yards,and shoot most of them in the lungs,the GICarbine is a good choice.
Those who have enough experience to know that shoulder shots are unpredictable,know that shoulder shots are not a choice at all with the little GICarbine.You have to have self dicipline enough to let some deer "walk",that would be shot with a 300 Savage.
As far as accuracy goes;my Carbine shoots 1 1/2 inch groups;my Savage'99 shoots 2 inch groups.
Both are good deer cartridge/guns.
I had a physical setback,this year,I need a semi auto to hunt,.My choies are:Mossburg 5500 12 gauge,M1 Garnd 30'06 and the GICarbine.For woodland hunting,the Carbine is an easy choice.
I'll report this upcomming December.
