Whew!! Finally!

Post by lscha »

We were getting right down to the wire here. I passed on some deer earlier in the season and when I do that I usually end up with zero.
I stayed in the same blind for 5 days and finally put a perfect heart shot on this little guy. I had to, it is the year of the woman hunter! :lol:

Hey Laura,Great going. :D Love a girl who shoots a hand gun. Are you using 44 mag loads or 44 special loads. I also have the red hawk 44 mag and find the lower power 44 special loads are fantasic deer killers and easy on your wrist. :shock: Do you load your own? It's the only way to go. jmo :)
I am a hunter and proud of it.

I used to load my own but now I use Winchester .44 mag Platinum Tips. They do a nice job. And when they expand, they look like a piece of jewelry!!
My gun is Mag-Na-Ported so the muzzle jump is reduced and is not bad to shoot. Pachmayr grips help too.

Very nice! My next deer hunting goal is to take a buck with a handgun... I've got 2 problems though. The Exocet is awful good at harvesting bucks and Ohio is a one buck state. :(

60 yards. The deer made it 20 yards further. I had plenty of time waiting for the perfect shot. Not a drop of blood anywhere. I had to find him by glassing the woods because he went out of sight when he bucked and ran. Hard to get a blood trail when the heart stops.
