I'all leave all this bookworm Mumbai jumbo to the chart thumpers. I once put a
Two two round clean through both sides of a propane tank. That's good enough for the deer I eat.

Where do I sign?

Forget the 22 min  Arizona allows air rifles

Forget the air rifle,New Mexico allows for spear.

[JimmyHoffa]

There are some really powerful air rifles out there.  Not all air guns are .177 cal, some are .357 or larger.

Weren't we arguing about this last week. 

this argument had become the topic "de jour" lately..must be post-hunting season's again Bone😏

I know you and I can kill a deer or elk with a .22 or a pellet rifle, but some of these yayhoos, I wouldn't trust them with a .375

What would Elmer Keith do???

[hunter399]

223 caliber can and will kill deer.There are a lot of YouTube videos.Fish and wildlife dept. In other states are just a lot smarter then ours.

WWEKD?

I suspect he'd move to a state with no restrictions so he could blaze away with his Red Ryder.

Elmer would want something big... probably at least .33 caliber for deer.  A .33something OKH.

This is not the first time that the State of Washington has visited minimum caliber restrictions.   Back in the 1960's the M1 Carbine was pretty available and the ammo was everywhere.  Pretty much the same arguments that are being made for using 223 are what was being advanced by proponents of using 30 Carbine on deer back when I was a kid, particularly that 30 Carbine it is legal and is an effective deer cartridge in other States.
