GOB,
The question has already been answered for PA hunters; the minimum legal caliber is .44 for deer. A .36 caliber ball weighs about 70 grains and the T/C Max charge is listed in their booklet at 60 grains of BP.
The .36 may work in a pinch for deer, but a bigger caliber is fairer to the deer, IMHO.
