I was told the same thing. I promptly got the video camera out and made a bunch of videos just to prove them wrong. The lesson that is learned here is
1: Don’t tell me it can’t be done.
2: I am an expert on my own opinion.
3: You can humanly kill deer with subs.

That Deer, or a Greyhound ??? looks pretty small . LOL

Nobody is saying it cant be done .
Just saying . It's all relative to where you live & what size deer & game is in the area you hunt & terrain & distance you have to shoot deer .

Nice white tail doe here ... over 150 pounds. 16" suppressed 220 SMK at 1000 fps. Dropped at the shot. Hit her in the neck as intended.

Fortunately those who own 300 WTF rifles can learn the limitations and ignore the critics.
Does any state ban the 300 WTF but allow other centerfire rifles for deer hunting?

Actually the 300wtf may have a leg up in many other calibers, as some states restrict hunting to handgun calibers& the 300 has a pretty good history with silhouette shooters. plus it works well in bolt& semi auto guns, what's not to like?

I have found that some states require a cartridge to have a specific oal to use on deer. Dunno about about handgun hunting or what not since I usually hunt from my living room with a suppressed sbr anyhow 'gotta love when a security system is looking over the food plot in your back yard:cool:'

restrictions
 
In VA, a deer caliber must be centerfire greater than 22 caliber and deliver over 550 foot pounds of energy at 100 yards. A 300 whisper leaving a barrel subsonic at 1050 feet per second 220 grain bullet is over 900 foot pounds of energy at 100 yards, well over VA requirements. We can use suppressors for hunting also. I love VA! :smile:
