Who all out there besides me enjoys the challenge of handgun hunting and what is your weapon/cartridge of choice.
For me the old standby has been an older Taurus in 357 Magnum.

Exclusively for years. If I even touch a rifle I feel like I’m being unfaithful to my revolvers....
I’ve all manner of game with revolvers.
Personally only killed two deer with a pistol, 44 mag sbh and 45/70 bfr. I don't have a pistol permit otherwise I'd hunt more with one.
A 45/70 bfr is on my wish list. One of these weeks...
I love mine! Very accurate!
Very good gun, accurate and fun to shoot.A 45/70 bfr is on my wish list. One of these weeks...
I don't mean to hijack this thread but I was thinking about this the other day. I have recently been shooting a couple of .357s a lot. One is SA/DA and the other is DAO. Anyway, as I was working the triggers and thinking about the accuracy needed for hunting, I wondered how you guys carry your revolvers. Hammer down and deal with the long pull, or hammer back, ready to go?
Buying a 7.5 Ruger Blackhawk in 41 mag. Tuesday so I can start handgun hunting. This year at a family friends place. I've only hunted with shotgun's. Due to the area I hunted. This year I'm heading to NC. Hunting a farm and swamp.
I don't think I am in the majority but I also know I am not alone using double action to hunt. I can't remember the last time I thumb the hammer back on any of my Double Action revolvers. If I am shooting unsupported (freestyle) I shoot double-action more accurately than single-action.I don't mean to hijack this thread but I was thinking about this the other day.
