What deer gun has the least recoil?

From my experience, the 30-06 has the least recoil with the most hitting power. however, if you are actually taking a shot at an animal, you rarely notice the recoil due to adrenaline.

.243, 30-30, or 7mm-08 will have modest recoil. The .223 and 22-250 have less, but arenot legal for deer in many areas, and in my opinion, too light to be a good deer cartridge.
