Absolutely ! I have taken several with mine. It is a very flat shooting cartridge with very mild recoil. I prefer the 117 - 120 grain bullets, as opposed to the lighter 75 - 100 gr. The lighter bullets are great if you also wish to do some groundhog or coyote hunting. You can shoot a deer from 500 meters away with a 120 grain bullet! All you need to do is zero a scope in and take the crossair slightly above the deer and BAM! You've got a trophy waiting for you 500 meters away!

They are very similar. Deer and elk are much alike anatomically, though elk tend to be larger. For this reason, a different caliber gun may be required for an elk. Guns like a 7mm rifle will do fine for deer, but it's questionable for elk. A 30-06 is typically a good gun for both.

What caliber of rifle do you need to kill a deer?

That's sort a difficult question to answer. Any caliber might happen to kill a deer. A good gun would be 7mm or 308. Depending on the size of the deer. And how much recoil you can take and how loud maybe. Just make sure you can get a rifle that you like and fits you comfortably. some calibers might be .243 30-30 7mm-08 .270 and most calibers over a .223 will kill a deer either by dropping it or you would have to follow a blood trail . but dont get a caliber that you cant handle or is to big . You can go to your local gun smith for their opinion also. happy hunting and safe hunting and remember to take youths to get them into the sport.
