ok i shot my first buck tonight only second buck i've shot at in my life first 20 some yrs ago when i was 9.I'm the guy that will shoot the doe everytime and pass on buck unless it's a nice rack.A meat hunter basically.Tonight the deer showed broadside about 40 yrds easy shot shot with my trusty 16ga and missed and gun didn't cycle so i set it down and drew my 475 linebaugh and shot went about 15 yards and dropped  DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR | ||

Way to go TBEAR!! That's a nice buck and a great story! The revolver to the rescue! What was the load you were using? Congratulations!  "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid."

Don't worry, it'll just be our little secret. Congrats on the nice buck. Leave the shotgun at home! If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out. | |||

Way to go TBEAR99, and with your handgun no less, very nice buck. If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Member of the Delaware Destroyers Member Reeders Misfits NRA Life Member ENDOWMENT MEMBER NAHC Life Member DSA Life Member | |||

I guess this means you are a better shot with a handgun than with a shotgun  _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||

That is a GREAT deer for a first handgun kill -- heck, for ANY level of hunting! I'm guessing that revolver gets pressed into action a little more often after this hunt... Bobby Μολὼν λαβέ The most important thing in life is not what we do but how and why we do it. - Nana Mouskouri | |||

I have the same problem. Meat hunter most of my life. So for all the deer I have killed (70-100 of them)I have shot but a handfull of "trophies" Only ever shot one big bull elk, and probly 15-20 cows, but I have hundreds of great memories with friends and family. And when it comes down to it that means more to me anyway. Would be proud as punch to have killed that buck of yours with a hand gun! Never taken a big buck with a handgun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.../watch?v=qVQc386js7g www.setfreesoldiers.com www.soldiermade.com Montana Maddness Set Free Ministries MT. 7 days with out meat makes one Weak! | |||
