Voted yes but then there are some stupid laws like not being allowed to use a 45 cal for elk??
There will always be people who will want to shoot an elephant with a 243, so I see no problem with minimums
I am not up to date enough with current calibers and bullets to set minimums for others but I can tell you what mine would be.
Deer and elk: minimum 45 caliber.
Bullets would depend on what they are made of and sabot/conical. I personally believe what I have heard from people who have killed way more animals that I: 100gr of black powder (or equivalent) and a 300 well constructed bullet is enough to kill any deer or elk. Shooting conicals, I would have a minimum for MYSELF of 250 for deer and 290/300 for elk. I know with some better constructed sabots, you could probably go lower
