Im not sure why someone would want to use a 38spl revolver for deer hunting, since you are drastically limiting your range ,but it would surly kill a deer, if you could get close enough and wait for a good angle. on the other hand, i briefly owned a 357 winchester 94 trapper, and I shot cheap 38spl 158 gr lead swc out of it. I wouldnt have hesitated to hunt deer or bear w/ it, and those bullets, in heavy cover.
