I would avoid the .38 for deer, as others have already stated. Perfect for smaller game (might do some damage to the meat on a rabbit though

). Stick with the .357 for deer.....the .38 could no doubt kill but that calls into question the ethics of the hunter....depending on your shot placement that thing could be long gone and bleed out later.

Go with the .357 for deer.
