How much rifle is required in Florida?

[M118LR]

Folks in Northern Latitudes seem to be content (or legislated) to hunt with shotguns. I've been hunting the North Florida Scrub for years with a Mini-30 Tactical with an 18 inch barrel, successfully limiting my shot's taken to under 150 yards. This year I'm dabbling with Ruger Guide Gun in 30-06. (also a Carbine with a 20 inch barrel) Since I've yet to find a reason to take a Hog or Deer at distance of over 100 yards, Is a 30-06 off the shelf Ruger Guide Gun overkill/overgunning for Florida Hog/Deer? I mean a 30-06 has a point blank range of 300 yards, so most rounds expended on game animals require a hold-under.

Awaiting Y'all's response.

Yeah, the '06 is probably a bit much down here, but is an animal ever TOO dead?
