(I'm a 110% meat hunter) I hunt the creek bottoms in the Sandhills area of NC where the woods are thick and visibility because of foliage is generally 45 yards or less on one of the lease properties I hunt in early gun season. My go-to revolver for early season is my open sighted Dan Wesson 44 mag and I'm hunting from a tree stand. When I'm hunting from my ground blind on the edge of a corn field and hardwoods on the opposite side of the lease property I take my scoped 44 mag or 454 Casull because the shots average anywhere from roughly 50-90 yards (range finder verified). I don't claim to be an expert nor have I ever killed any record bucks....but my deep freezer held 2 feral hogs and 5 deer this past season.
