I'm sure you'll get different answers from different parts of the country but around here I've got no problem using a .223.

I think you hit the nail on the head with that statement. One must consider in the size of deer around the country. Where down in the SouthEast whitetails are rather small, almost the size of coyotes, up in the North they're much larger, so bullet size will be much different.
Personally I believe a .243 is bare minimum, but then again, I was taught to hunt in NJ, decent sized animals up that way.
