The 24 hour campfire has a thread in predator hunting. It's called 2019 dead critters Thread. I figured we could do the same and call it the post your handgun critters Thread. I'd start but I've got nothing recent to post. Any handgun kills from field mice up through elephants. Ideally the picture contains your game and the handgun used. Let's start with anything from August 2019 and just keep it going all year every year.

Good idea. Look forward to seeing them. I have some if I can learn to post pictures.

My biggest problem is when I hunt,, I'm mostly alone. Getting pics of me in the shot,, is hard. But I guess I can get the handgun in there. (I just killed my 4th deer of the year yesterday,, and I'll have to retake a picture of it with the gun in it.)

There used to be a small game thread here.
I just bumped it. Some good stories there.

Nice doe. How much penetration did you get from the xtp? Enough obviously. Great looking gun.

Entered left side, deflected off a rib, tracked up and ruined backstraps with bone fragments everywhere, hit vertebrae and sent bone shrapnel into other backstraps, then tracked down just above shoulder under the hide

What velocity?? I’ve had good performance at 800-900fps, your description almost sounds like no vitals were hit.

Great thread. I've been truly blessed this season. Opening day doe with SBHH .41 magnum. 2nd weekend of the season I killed this nice 8 with the same 41. Less than 24 hours later and on a morning I wasn't planning to hunt, I killed my biggest handgun buck. 10 pointer with the .41. Then came two turkeys on the same hunt a few weeks later. Followed by a delicious doe with a newly acquired FA 83 454. And then last weekend I filled my last deer tag on another doe with the FA.

Good season Randy. That last doe looks crushed. That 454 must have done a job on her.
