I have a buck in the freezer that says you're wrong .
I got it with a 50 cent Foster slug shot through a smoothbore .
You can take a deer down with a .22 if you hit the right spot , placement kills , not caliber .

Ive killed a lot of deer w/ a 20. Its a perfect slug gun! you get much better groups and consistency w/ a 20. Ive also killed them over 100 yds w. that gun. Its a browning gold w/ slug barrel and scope. Its my QDM gun... haha never killed a buck w/ it, but ive taking over 20 does w/ it.

My first two deer were shot with a Ithaca Model 37 Feather Weight 20 ga. Both deer a doe and 250Lb. Buck went straight down. Both deer were shot within 55 yards though. I still love that gun.
