New member here from Alaska. I use to hunt with a Thompson contender back when I was stationed in South Dakota and took an antelope and mule deer with a 7x30 Waters, but over the years I sold most of my handguns. In the last year I have renewed my desire to get out and hunt win one and picked up a Super Redhawk in a 454 casull and another contender in a .223 and .358 JDJ. I have taken a moose, griz and caribou with a bow so now its time to start playing with the contender! I am retiring from the Air Force this year after 26 years so hopefully that will free up some time for some really good adventures!
