List of states that allow 223 for deer

[CurlyQ.Howard]

Does Illinois have any firearm restriction for coyote hunting? I ask as I was told that it doesn't.

Current Minnesota minimum cartridge rules for deer - it has to be at least .220 caliber and center fire ignition and that is it ! In other words , my .22 Hornet rifle is legal but I intend to stay with my 45-70 , 30-30 , and .243 rifles for deer !

Georgia is any center-fire .22 caliber or larger with no restriction on case size, technically .22 hornet is legal to hunt with. I believe there is some constraint on the bullet having to be expansive but a .223 would be deer legal here in georgia.

Would I hunt deer with .223? Probably not, I just think there are better deer calibers.

Maybe we could post the relevant regulation with it instead of call outs? Hunting regulations change every year.

FULLY AUTOMATIC FIREARMS AND SILENCED FIREARMS PROHIBITED.

In OK you can use .223 but it must weigh 55gr or more. OAL of atleast 1 1/2 inces and all .22 cal firearms must not be caple of holding more than 7 rounds of ammo. Must also be of either soft point or hollow point ammo.
