This is my first year truly hunting Big Game with a handgun, but over the years I have killed dozens of Raccoon, Rabbit, and Squirrel with a High Standard 22 Revolver and a Ruger Mark II 22. Hoping to retire my long guns and just use my Bow and Handgun for Big Game from now on. Just harvested my 1st Big Game, a Whitetail Buck with the Ruger in 454 Casull.

Deer, squirrels, feral dogs. My most gratifying/satisfying
''kill'' was a Craftsman chainsaw l bought to clear a pond
l had purchased for a home site.. l was forever sharpening
the blade, tightening the bar, oiling and gassing this devil machine from Sears... Even had it worked on a couple times.
Still it was the same old dog and pony show... Then one day
l finally had ENOUGH. l pulled out my S&W K38 and put a bullet
thru the block. Then gave it a watery grave by throwing into the
deepest part of the pond:-) l never felt better about a KILL
before or since. lt was really an EXECUTION.. That damn saw
refused to DIE. As the years passed l would see an occasional oil
spot on the pond surface

I have had a few close calls on some whitetail with my .357, but I've taken some raccoons with it as well as several armadillos. With my 22A I've taken more armadillos with it than I can count. once with my .357 I had to shoot a beaver out of self defense it died at my feet as I was stuck in a mucky marsh, apparently I made him feel cornered or something. What is a "close call" on a whitetail? Were they shooting back at you?

I was 8yrs old when I started shooting rats in the barn with a CO2 pistol and I've been hooked ever since. Si CRAIG44: IN THE MID 50's I GOT A PLAINSMAN BB CO2 PISTOL AND MY HANDGUN HUNTING CAREER STARTED. TOOK WATER TURTLES AND SNAKES WITH IT, PLUS BIRDS OF ALL KIND, ESPECIALLY GRACKLES, AND A RABBIT. ALSO GOT TO SHOOT MY FATHER'S FS RUGER 22 AUTO PISTOL AND JAP NAMBU AS A KID. A GOOD BEGINNING.
