Does Florida have a caliber requirement for hunting deer?

Don't know, here in MO we do, .243 is minimum
Get a .270 ... commercial loadings available to hunt pretty much anything on the planet

Hunters have a responsibility to ensure a quick, clean, and humane death... All living beings deserve this.
The A-17 is not a big game rifle and the 17HMR is not a big game cartridge.
There are many excellent choices in rifles capable of cleanly killing big game and the bulk of them are affordable.
If you are unwilling to use an acceptable caliber, then I suggest you refrain from hunting.
Agree with this 100%! At a minimum my limit is a .223/5.56 70gr TSX round. I know other loads in this caliber will easily work but this is my lower limit. Depending upon where I'm hunting I'm shooting anywhere from a 7mm08 to a 300 Win Mag. Yes the 300 may seem a bit much but when you are shooting 300lb deer in Canada up to 400 yards out you need it. As far as a relatively inexpensive great all around rifle look at the Tikka in .243 or larger round. Can beat it for the money!
