I hope not.
The intent in hunting is to kill quickly to minimize any unnecessary pain & suffering to the animal being hunted. Certainly a .22 LR can kill a large animal with the proper shot placement, but this is difficult to achieve, and it would very likely require several shots with the .22LR to kill the animal. It would be considered cruel to dispatch an animal in this fashion, so most states/provinces wouldn't allow it.

Hunting rifles tend to be lighter, have more slender barrels, and sights that are useful for hunting. I have one target rifle that weighs 12 pounds, and has a 24 power scope. It is an excellent long range rifle when fired from a benchrest. I would not want to carry it any great distance, nor fire it standing offhand. The scope would have such a small field of view, it would be very difficult to FIND a moving animal in it.
