I don't think that anyone should try to shoot a deer with a .410. It just doesn't have enough power to get it done right. Oh, it would probably kill a deer, but I wouldn't take the chance of just wounding it and having to track it for miles.
I would try to use a least a 20ga shotgun for deer.

Its illegal here so you may want to check up on it in your area, but yeah it would kill a deer. Its all about shot placement and knowing your distance. A deer shot in the vitals with a .410 is just as dead as one shot with a 12 gauge. I use a 12 gauge myself because you've got more power and you don't have to make a "perfect shot" If you worry about the kick of the gun your using though you wont be accurate and accuracy is way more imporant than power.

New England Firearms makes a gun call the Ultra Slug Hunter that fires 20 ga rifled slugs and comes with a scope. One of the best slug guns ever. I have the Tracker II which has the rifled slug barrel. No scope but the sight will do just fine.
