"Montana does not have any caliber restrictions for big game hunting. You can legally hunt deer or elk or whatever with a .22 rimfire. I also do not advocate hunting deer with .22 rimfires, but I have killed more than a few mule deer with .22 LR cartridges. All were one shot kills, and shot at under 50 yds, and none were wounded and lost."


***Why do people have to come on a hunting forum discussing less than adequate cartridges for big game hunting with comments like that?!!! With all the calibers that can be used for humane kills on game it sure doesn't make any sense to me to use a 22LR on a big animal like a deer.
