if you hit the dear in the heart or lungs and are less than about 250 yards away from it You bet. A .243 is a great whitetail round for close range shots. If you are hunting in thick forest it's hard to beat a .243. Great caliber for youth hunters.

Will a 243 100 grain kill a whitetail deer?
In Southern states where the average size of White-tailed deer is under 150 lbs the .243 Caliber is more than adequate to take down a white tailed deer for the average shooter, In the Northern States where deer go over 200lbs sometimes up to 300lbs the .243 round should only be considered by hunters with strong marksmanship skills. the .243 bullet is small and light and has much more potential to remain inside the body cavity of a large bodied northern White-tail deer there for making a blood trail almost impossible to find and follow. Also with the smaller size and weight of the round the initial shock from the impact will be less on a northern white-tail which can easily lead to a longer time to expiration of the target.
