It would work just fine. You would need to pick your shots, just like you do if you are hunting with a bow. With the right hard cast bullet it would penetrate more than enough. Shoot, a hoillowpoint that leans towards penetration would be fine.

Finally, a hot 9mm out of a 16 in barrel is effectively a .357 magnum. People have been taking deer with the .357 magnum since it came out.

Like I said above, I had a friend who humanely and ethically (but illegally)took deer with just a .22 to the head. None ever ran, they dropped where they stood.
