I still haven't heard from Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories or Prince Edward Island. It would be appreciated if someone from these jurisdictions would respond. Thanks again to all of you who have provided information.

Is there any level/requirement of bullet energy stipulated?
if you mean Ontario I agree that you can find some small bodied deer with pretty large racks in Southern Ontario (and a few big animals as well of course) but it is interesting to see some of the very large bodied deer in Northern and North west Ontario but with pretty meagre racks. It is my theory that in some areas they dont put as much energy into their head gear as they do in building body mass in order to deal with bad winters and deep snow.
oups 2800 ft/lbs .... the short barrel 45/70 is not meeting that ....

No deer on PEI to hunt with any cartridge... Well, there had been some just down the road in Fantasyland(Kings Landing) when I was kid, but they were in a fenced compound...
Not exactly a 223 but a fella that hunts in the same deer group that I do, shot a nice buck with a 22-250 this fall. Perfect shot obliterated it’s vitals and it didn’t move 10 feet before dropping. Not saying I’d use one myself, but I was surprised.
