Deer hunting in Qc with 7.62x39?

it's a larger calibre...it's a .308 calibre..but energy wise it's not quite as powerful as a .243 but if you're hunting deer it should do fine if you use softpoint ammo. kinda similar to a 30-30.
 
I use my SKS for deer hunting. Its perfect for when your doing a deer drive in the thick bush, and it easily takes a deer down within 100yrds. In the think crap, most shots are under 50 yards, and my Russian SKS is Very accurate at 50yrds, so it make a great bush gun especially since follow up shots are so quick with a SKS and accurate since there is not much recoil from that cartridge. When I hunt where there will be longer shots I use my Ruger 308. Many members hunt deer or bear with their SKS, and I am sure they will key in on their success.

Great on yotes also.
