    Hunting with a Handgun - Colt .44 Mag

    I wish it was pre-2000. No it's a brand new model. Shoots really nice though. I sure would love to find out where I could get a trigger job on it, though. Trigger is a little heavy in my opinion.

    Hunting with a Handgun - Colt .44 Mag

    Used Remington 180 grain soft nose. I debated on getting some larger loads but in my experience, soft nose bullets always seem to work really well, dear, and I thought with 180 gr versus something like a 240 gr, it would really shoot a lot flatter.

    Hunting with a Handgun - Colt .44 Mag

    Since I was a teenager, I've always wanted to try to harvest one a deer with a handgun. At that time, my older cousin had bought a Colt Anaconda, chambered in 44 mag, and had taken a couple deer with it. I always had it in my mind that when I got older, I would get that buy exact gun and hunt...

    Heavy Horned Mule Deer for my daughter

    My oldest daughter must carry a little luck with her. She hunted the least out of my three kids this season, but it still came together for her. First deer hunt of the year, last week of season, and we happened to run into this old buck. Nothing crazy for effort, but a fun hunt!

    How young is too young to hunt.

    Montana allows for 10.... All three mine got their first at 10. By then, I think they're starting to get old enough to have a little bit of a concept of what taking a life means. Anything below that, in my opinion, is pretty young to be taking life beside small things like gophers/small game...

    Best shot I've witnessed

    Took my kiddo out to try to find her Whitetail this last fall. Ended up sneaking in on one in his bed, right at last light. He jumped up and took a few bones and he stopped. She could only see his head. I was telling her to shoot, not knowing that she could only see his head, not the rest of...

    Hunting Solo by choice or circumstance

    It's kind of both for me. I used to have an elk hunting partner, but due to some pretty big disagreements, and looking back personality conflicts, I ended up hunting solo for elk. I still take people from time to time, but over the years I have come to really, really love hunting solo for elk...

    Little Debbie GOAT

    Man, this brings back great memories for me! When I was young, we would always stop off at wild John's gas station and party store. I would always get typically the same thing, a bag of pizza flavored Combos, and two little Miss Debbie oatmeal creme pies. This was back when all of my brothers...

    First Whitetail Buck

    My son Sam is 12 and while he has shot a couple of nice mule deer bucks, he had not yet got a whitetail buck. This past fall that was the mission for him and I. We ended up finding a good buck that was in full on rut mode, but had to crawl 500 yards into position. It was a bit of a gong show and...

    Double Lung Hit that goes 1.5 miles??

    I think in this case, (and probably most cases there are similar to this), for some reason, the lungs aren't cut enough, or at least cut in the right spot, to deflate them and cause extreme blood loss. I think with this particular case on the bucks I shot, I caught the back and bottom of both...
