Here's Wisconsin's rule on using them for deer hunting:
Muzzleloading handguns .44 caliber and larger with a minimum barrel length of 7 inches measured from muzzle to breech face, that fire a single projectile
weighing 138 grains or more are legal for deer hunting.
Since in over 40 years of deer hunting I've got my share using a rifle I'm tempted to try this. I know I could use a blackpowder rifle etc but this has kind of caught my interest.
In one of the threads in this forum it stated a soldier accidentally shot and instantly killed his horse when his Walker went off. If a Walker can kill a horse a Colt should be able to kill a deer, right? I mean these guns killed Yankees and Rebels alike in the Civil War.
Any thoughts would be appreciated as usual.
