This past deer season I finally got a handgun buck. Ruger sbh 44 with a 280 wfn over h110. 25 yard shot into the top of the heart. Ran 25 yards. This was the most exciting deer hunt in a while  |

Congrats to you, Jay. I bet your hooked now  Sure is gratifying to take game with the short gun! Least IMO. Like wiseguy said, hope it's the first of many more to come. BigBore44 |

Congratulations, once I killed big game with a handgun, I was hooked and lost interest in using a rifle.
But I have yet to kill a deer with a handgun, several hogs and a cow elk, but no deer. All with a S&W 44.

Thanks for the kind words. Although this is the first deer with a handgun, I have taken a pair of hogs and some small game too. This handgun hunting is addictive

KUDOS!!!!!!!!
I decided to pick up handgun hunting over 30 years ago. I started with a Ruger Redhawk,,, and spent the first 2 weeks of a 3 week season with it. I wanted a wall hanger for my first handgun deer. I'd carry my rifle for the last week & fill the freezer with meat.
Due to an issue,,, that I was solely responsible for,,, I missed my first shot at a wall hanger, and was quite upset. I later missed a spike as well. I switched to my T/C Contender & started drilling deer. (My scope was off on the Redhawk, my fault.) But once I took up handgunning for deer,,,, I've never looked back. I now have over 100 deer with a handgun as well as tons of other critters. I STILL get excited when I shoot one with a handgun!
Kudos my friend!

Good for you! There's nothing quite like it, at first it doesn't seem possible but once you break the ice it sure puts the excitment back into hunting.
