Pretty crazy if you ask me. I'd think .357 min would be a little better...

doesn't the bullet have to have a certain amount of energy at 100 yards to be able to hunt with? Someone told me .357 weren't legal for deer? :dunno:
No not true. That person needs to read the regs before they think anything.

You could legally hunt Moose with a .25 ACP if you could find a 4" barrel. :bdid:

That's the old rule, was true at one time but the regs changed.

"HANDGUNS:
Big game except cougar, may be hunted with handguns with a minimum barrel length of 4 inches per manufacturers specifications and fire a minimum 24 caliber centerfire cartridge. The minimum for cougar is a 22 caliber centerfire handgun. Rimfire handguns are not legal for big game."
Yes severla years ago there was a minimum for Foot pounds of energy in addition to the 4 inch minimum barrel length. But that has since gone by the wayside I guess. I know this because my 357 was legal but my 45 LC wasn't
