Regardless of if it is legal or not, it is not ethical to do so. AP bullets are more likely to wound and maim, but not kill the deer.
Use a .22 magnum. It will kill a deer.
On deer size game I would recommend that you shoot a bullet with a weight of between 140-154grs.for deer hunting.I load my brothers deer hunting ammo with the 140gr.Nosler partition and he has never had a failure yet on deer size game.Hornady also makes ammo with their interbond bullets that is first class.
Slugs! If its rifled it is a deer hunting barrel.
Yes. See all the deer hunters this time of year?
no
Why is it illegal to shoot a person in public? same reason. it is murder.
It is only illegal if you kill or injure the deer when it's not in season and/or without the proper tags and licence. Most potato guns have the potential to injure a deer, and if it does, you may receive a nasty fine from the game warden. It is not illegal if the deer remains unharmed however.
For out of the box ammo I've found Winchester CXP2 170 grain power points to be excellent on deer.
only if you dont have the right tag
150 grains plus preferred, but not the Buffalo Bore 190 grain hawk bullet ones, as the are not made to properly mushroom on deer. The 30-30 is the all time #1 gun for deer hunting, and virtually everyone makes ammo for them...but I always leaned to the Hornady 160 grain FTX LeverEvolution or the Federal Premium ammo. You will have to buy as many different brands of ammo as you can afford and shoot them all to see which your rifle prefers. I would not go lower than 120 grains. Fixdeluxe1's Improvment:If you can get it,I recommend 150 Grain and up.Try Winchester ammo its one of the best and if Remington does 30-30 them too.
No. Even if you have a have a hunting license, a deer tag and haven't hit your limit, roadkill deer is illegal. Dead deer on the road, call animal services. On your property, bury it.
Yes they are most definately illegal. Deer can not be hunted in the lower 48 at night or when conditions would require night vision. It wouldn't be called hunting if they were.
