Default Is my 44# recurve strong enough to hunt??

I'm new to bowhunting, this being my first year out. I have been shooting for several months with both my compound and my recurve. I am finding i get a lot more satisfaction from shooting my recurve. I am currently shooting a Darton Ranger that was given to me by a friend who had it laying around for several years. The bow is 58", 44# and I have a 29" draw. I am getting fairly accurate from 10 to 30 yards. I would like to use my recurve on a few hunts this season when I'm sure my accuracy is where it needs to be, but I'm not sure if this bow is strong enough to hunt deer. I am shooting a 2016 aluminum arrow and could use some help on broadhead size. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
