Not really. It is possible to kill a deer with a 22, but it would have to be really close and just in the exact right place. The only place that would do enough damage to kill, would be the brain. This can be a tricky area to hit, but I would recommend either a 20 gauge or 12 gauge shotgun with slugs in it.

∙ 9y agoYes u can. But not in nj. There is no rifle hunting in nj. The closest thing to a rifle u can use in nj is a muzzleloader that is .50 caliber in size... A 22-250 is sufficient size to kill deer I have seen it done. The deer dropped rite there where it was standing.

∙ 11y ago22 mag would be illegal to hunt deer with anywhere in the US. Check with your local DNR to find the requirements for the area you intend to hunt. A 22 mag is not a large enough caliber to insure a quick and humane kill. As a tip, if caught hunting with the wrong cal., the DNR agent can seize your weapon-gear-and vehicle. A large fine-and or imprisonment-plus the loss of hunting rights can result.It is not worth taking a chance and listening to "friends". Check with the local DNR.

Yes. From game and parks site: Legal Weapons for Firearm Season: .22-caliber or larger rifle that deliver at least 900 foot-pounds of energy at 100 yards. The vast majority of 223 rounds deliver over 900 ft lbs.
