Its illegal. Use a caliber sufficient to take your quarry. A .17 caliber bullet is likely to cause a significant amount of pain and suffering to a deer. Start with a minimum of a .243 rifle. You owe it to the animal to make a clean kill.

More importantly, please eat what you harvest.

MOST state game laws will not permit that. While it may be possible to kill a deer with a cartridge such as .17 Remington, you are MUCH more likely to wound a deer. You will need to check your state game laws- it is illegal in Virginia USA.

In the UK it is illegal - unless it's a mercy killing.
