One good thing about deer hunting in the shotgun states where a 20ga is the smallest possible choice is the deer usually die quickly when hit in the vitals. The farthest I've ever had a deer go when shot with a 12ga was about 20' with no followup shot required. I've spent a lot of time tracking wounded deer in rifle states even when normally adequate calibers such as the 30-30 and 35Rem were used.
Anyone using a 22cal is deluding themselves and no credit to the hunting community.
