Some states even disallow 7.62 for deer, big game hunting.

What states don't allow a .30 caliber for deer hunting? A .300 magnum is a 7.62mm. That is enough gun for anything in North America (with the possible exception of a Kodiak brown or polar bear where I'd prefer a .35 or larger bullet).

I think he may be referring to 7.62x39, but even that should be sufficient for deer hunting.

Hi.

“What states don’t allow a .30 caliber for deer hunting? “

Don’t know at this point in time.

States change their game laws (season, bag limit, sex etc) each year. I’m just telling the forum that what I posted is my experiences in hunting various states.

If you have experience in harvesting game, you are probably familiar with your state’s game rules and regulations.

Thanks for asking.
