What Handgun for hunting deer?

[Richard Jay King]

Red Hawks and post 1973 Super Blackhawks can be cocked without deer spooking if they are 20 yards or more..3 screw Blackhawks cannot! After over three dozen deer I only had to shoot one double action with the Super RedHawk because it was 10 yards from me...

My best deer killer SS T/C 1st gen with 3030 barrel, been killing deer for 15 yrs. Have taken deer from 20 yds to 150 yds 3030 is very under rated, relatively cheap and can be handloaded with great variety of 308 bullets.

Same here. 50 yards or less, but I'm lovin' 25 yards and less. LOL For me I want to be up close and personal, as close as I can be, with my quarry. The challenge of blending in with the environment is as much of the challenge as taking a responsible, humane shot.

Well said new57...words to live and hunt by....Welcome to the High Road. Rod
