I have a fried who's dad killed tons of deer with a 22 MAG. He was a carefull shot and over the years never lost one.

My brother used a 223 Browning single shot to take a medium sized deer (125 lb) with no problem.

In Alabama the 223 is legal. I don't agree. My son wanted to take a deer with his 223 and wouldn't change his mind, so I bought some Barnes 223 for deer loads. Thankfully, he reconcidered.

I agee that just because it CAN be done doesn't mean that it SHOULD be done. Special cases can be reconsidered. It is now legal for a legally blind person to use a laser sight and a partner to deer hunt. That's OK with me. Same as using a crossbow (my neighbor has MS and used a crossbow to get an antelope).
