Default Handgun Caliber

I am considering purchasing a revolver to hunt whitetails with this fall. I need to get a caliber that wont break my wrist. I was considering a .357 Mag, I know it is on the light side, but I intend to keep my shots within 50 yards, and considering the place I hunt, my farthest shot might be 40 (My favorite stand is in a thick creek bottom).

Could I cleanly take a deer with a .357? Because if I cant I have no problem waiting another year until I can shoot a .44 Mag. (Just turned 15)

Thanks for any or all input (BTW-I realize this could have gone in another forum, but I will be hunting deer so...)
