November 15th with an S&W 29 8 3/8 bbl .44mag 2x leupold. Chasing a doe; pulled him off her trail with the new buck growl. In my treestand at appx. 1:00pm first shot deflected off an unseen twig and required a follow up. Love handgun hunting!!! Yes I noramlly shoot the 454 but I was more comfortable with the way I was shooting the Smith.
