Personally, I've killed one deer with a .223 and I'll likely do it again, but I know there are lots of guys on here who have killed hundreds of deer with one.

 I just am a bit afraid to try the .223 on deer after reading all of this. I'll stick with my 6mm as it has worked just fine for decades for me. 
I Feed Indian Corn. The deer love it and all the colors make them stay at the feeder longer.

Difference of opinions isn't ok anymore, it's more of the "my way or the highway" It's pretty obvious it came back to life because one poster was trying to "troll up" another pi**ing match. And he is on the pro-.223 side of the ledger.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

The deer hunting seasons are ending and some people just can't accept it.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

I have been seeing mix reviews on if a 223 will kill a deer. What are ya'll think about it? The real answer is another question: Are you a capable, competent shooter with your weapon of choice? A miss with a hand thrown rock, an arrow or a BMG50 gives the same result.

As my paternal grandmother was known for saying, "Some people put sand in their shoes just to irritate themselves." My two nephews made "sand angels" at the ranch last weekend... I cant imagine wanting to lay in all that sand and being happy about it. I think we are going to need to clean out the traps in the shower drain from all the sand!

It will do it, but I would also recommend stepping up to a .243. The recoil is very manageable.

I shoot at Black Panthers in East Texas with a .223 using a spotlight while drinking moonshine and driving an F-350 because they're cool.
How's that for obnoxious?

Yes, a .223 will kill a deer. (Maybe that will do it.  )
