Steve;
Top of the morning to you sir, I trust the day is as pleasant in your part of the world as it is here and that this finds you well.
We're not only able to hunt deer with a .22 Centerfire, we can hunt them with a .19 or a .17 as the regulation simply states "Centerfire"
The only big game animal with a restriction on it for caliber is bison, which has to be hunted with a 175gr bullet minimum and it must have 2000ft lbs energy at 100 meters.
Of course you can still carry your .17 in the same area and hunt bull moose, bull elk or before they banned it, grizzly bears.
Anyway that's the view from the western most province Steve.
I didn't know my home province of Saskatchewan had recently changed it. Good on them for getting into the 20th century, eh?
All the best to you as we head into spring Steve.
Dwayne
