RE: Is the Ruger 204 Big enough for Whitetail
Is the .204 big enough for Whitetail? NO!
Neither are ANY of the .22's, from .22 short, on up to the .222 Swift! They are just not deer calibers! For those that are just "experimenting," or looking for a "challenge," why not just try a CO2 BB pistol! As others have said, "you can kill a deer with a screwdriver!"
While it is true that deer are not really that hard to kill, have a LITTLE respect for the fine game animals that Whitetail deer are! And if not for that, for the sake of the sport! There are anti's looking for ANY reason to get hunting banned! Why give them ANY ammo to use against us????!!!!!!
