Why do it? A larger cartridge kills them deader from more angles.
I can't think of a single reason I'd want to use a .22 caliber for deer.
Jim One reason for states to allow the use of an .22 caliber for deer. So people such as women and children can enjoy the life that r founders built for US Accuracy is everything. Tracking isn't that difficult and a cannon isn't necessary to harvest a deer.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Nosier has a 60 grain Partition that works good. Yep, but some standard 14 twist barrels don't shoot them well. A standard 55 soft point will work fine with proper rib cage shots.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Wish it was a legal caliber here in VA. Eric No you don’t. If you can’t see it go down there will be that one trophy deer you loose because it ran. No blood trail. Remember the thread about 243 and lack of blood trail? That problem is 10 fold with a 22 caliber rifle. I didn’t say it won’t kill one. 22 lr killed ton of deer. I bet gentleman killing truck loads of caribou is shooting them where he can see 300-500 yards

22s are too small said the bow hunter. 30-30s too.

It's not about whether a round will kill an animal it's about the limitations each round has to do it ethically, ie shot placement, range and hunter ability. Central nervous system shot are smaller targets and are the only placement that consistently make drt kills, which limits ranges and shot angles. Here you need a blood trail to consistently find harvested deer shot through heart or lungs in alot of hunting situations.
The real discussion should be about what ethical limitations each cartridge has and then each hunter should be able to honestly be able to judge there own abilities. I don't place head shots on deer as ethical because it such a small target that is possible to move farther than the size of the target in less time than it takes for u to decide to pull the trigger and the bullet to arrive on target.
If a 22-250 is a good deer cartridge a 22 mag by the same standards is a good coyote round but I bet most serious coyotes guys arent going to take them coyote hunting, particularly if you have to kill a livestock killer and have to recover it.

My first 20+ deer and all the kids I take out mentoring are all killed with a 22-250. Nothing fancy, 55 gr. soft point bullet @ somewhere around 3600-3700 fps. Shoot them in a pie plate area of the vitals and if they aren’t DRT, they tip over within sight. The hemorrhagic effects of the impact at such high speed ruptures any vessels nearby. Often times will pass through the chest cavity if held just behind the front shoulder. What is found upon field dressing resembles soup in the area above the diaphragm. Very effective hunting round if you know how to shoot consistently.
