It depends on what you mean. If you mean legally, many U.S. states require a caliber larger than .22 or 223, however, that IS legal in some states. If you mean what caliber will kill a deer, almost any rifle caliber will, but .22 or .223 is questionable, which is why many states prohibit that for deer hunting.

Will a bb gun kill a deer?
I love answering hunting questions but sadly the answer for this is no. You see a BB ball doesn't have the power to reach a vital organ. The only thing the deer will do is run away and think... Was that a Pebble? So BB balls won't do any damage,but pellets. Well pellets have the power to really injure a deer but not kill it. So my conclusion is...You can not kill a deer with a BB gun.

Most likely the deer would win the fight. A buck with sharp antlers and strong hooves can kill a man by striking him with them, but if the man had a sharp knife, he might kill the deer.

it may kill a deer if you were lucky. But it is not the best choice for hunting deer. Remember a .22 pellet is the same size slug as a regular .22 cal bullet and I would not hunt deer with a .22 cal rifle. It's just a poor choice.
