			GOB,
 The question has already been answered for PA hunters; the minimum legal caliber is .44 for deer.  A .36 caliber ball weighs about 70 grains and the T/C Max charge is listed in their booklet at 60 grains of BP.
 
 The .36 may work in a pinch for deer, but a bigger caliber is fairer to the deer, IMHO.
