Very nice, nmhunter!

Exelent Pics!

I've posted it here before, nice little 5 pt. My first and only handgun deer. Ruger Bisley 45 Colt with a 255gr SWC taken in IL.

That's a nice deer, Zac!

This is my all time favorite hunting pic. Its my son a couple years ago with his first handgunned critter. He used a Ruger Single-Six with Remington Sub-Sonics.

Very cool pics!
Nice lookin deer, and the little guy sure looks exited. Doesn't look like he's ready to give up that single six anytime soon.

He has his own Single Six now so mine is old news.

Great photo, pab1! You have every right to be very proud!

Nice pics everyone! A couple of favorites from 2010...I need to go the Wyote school of photography.

Nice pics SChunter! What round did you use on the whitetail?

Pab,

The 9-point pictured was taken with my 6.5/270 JDJ, shooting 129 gr SST's over 4831SC. That Encore barrel accounted for 3 deer and 1 hog this past year with great results!

I don't have many pics of my animals, seems I always forget the camera or just space it. This on though is the toughest shot I've ever pulled off. I took him at a measured 115yds on a dead run with my 4 5/8" 475 off hand.

Nice pics, SCHunter!

Nice 'yote, Rod!

Great shot Rod! You must have really had to lead him for that one.
Sweet gun too.

MN

Great shooting Rod!

nice shooting Rod!

Nice pics everyone!

FA 454 with 260 gr. Nosler Partition.

Nice deer, Muddy!

Great pictures I sure enjoyed them,hopefully Ill have a couple of my own this fall.But probably still wont know how to post pict

yep it took three shots, two while he was haulin the mail up the mountain straight away from me and the last shot I had the lead down and he had turned heading across in front of me from left to right and I believe it was about 5 or 6 dog lengths and about a foot or so high because it was steep up hill probably 45 deg.

On that same trip I caught one out past 200 yds and with the same gun I blew dirt all over him as I hit about a foot low.

Great lookin buck Gary looks like you have been putting that revolver to some very good use.

Thanks Dave - I love that gun.

NIce work, Gary!! Great trophies!

Very very nice, Gary.

Here are some of mine:

Awesome!!!! Great pictures everyone

Nice pics Gary & Gregg!

Nice critters Gregg

Thank you!

Very nice guy's

Very nice, Gregg!

Great pics everyone. There are few things that are as rewarding as a handgun harvested animal.

Here are a couple of my favorites...

This one was taken close to Gonzalez Texas with a scoped TC Encore in 7-08 at about 65 yards.

This old bruiser was taken on my lease near Junction, Texas with my a Ruger SBH in .44 mag. Iron sights at about 45 yards.

Nice Work Randy!!!

Really nice trophies, Randy!

Wow!
Fantastic pics everyone.
This is fun.

Great pics everybody! Can't wait for fall to get here.

Gary what gun, scope and ammo combination did you use on those critters if you don't mind my asking?

Nice bucks Randy!

A little of everything really. The zebra was shot with a .44 Mag. One of the deer was shot with a .45 Colt, one with a .454 and one with a .475. The elk was shot with a .475 but I've also shot elk with 454's and 44 magnums. Bullets have ranged from hard cast to jacketed HP's and soft points.

Guys,

Great pics everybody - making me long for cooler weather!

What is this "cooler weather" you speak of? Winter in Texas usually comes on a Thursday when the temperature drops below 75 for a morning. But...it's a humid, wet, cold. Brrrr

I envy you guys. Will be glad to get back east. Miss hunting in the south. Guess I will have to pray for a muley tag for now.

hell it's only made it to 70 where I live once this year.

We're already in the 90s......it's going to be a long, hot summer.......

we've touched 100° once or twice already this summer. it sucks. lol

My favorite LR Kills:
Antelope


Elk


Mule Deer

Very nice Ernie!! What ranges?

1037, 666, & 496

Excellent!! Thanks, Ernie!

some good looking critters everyone!... It will be interesting as always to see the results from this year as we all hit the fields and woods...

Ernie, with your profession didn't that second range bother you a little

I think he's gettin help

With the angle figured it reduced the distance for drop to about 648 yards.

If I remember right, the same question was brought up when Mr. Ernie posted the picture on the bragging board...

Gary is that a Super Blackhawk Hunter...what scope is on top? Thanks a bunch...

For the zebra it was a 2x Leupold and for the whitetail it was a Bushnell Elite 3200. They were different guns....

This was one of those hunts where you tell your friends
"you had to be there" because it was so quiet and still in the woods that I heard the big snowflakes hit the ground, heard the sound of a crows wings as it flew low through the forest. I believe the year was 1989 in northwest Pennsylvania...

that is my favorite time to be in the woods.
i know exactly what you mean about hearing the snowflakes hit the ground
when it's soo still it seems like they are falling in slow motion.

this will sound cheezy, but it's magical. the only way to describe it.

cool pic

MN

minnesota, you are right- magical -.....

Very nice James!

Pab 1 said it perfectly: Very Nice James!!

And very nice writing, you guys, about the "Magic."

This is my most recent favorite photo- 2 weeks ago, .375/.284 XP, one shot

Hey Gary what caliber is that HG with the Zebra and is it the same with all the animals in the pics?

I shot the zebra with a 44 mag the other ruger with the whitetail was a 45 colt

nice pics fella's

All these animals harvested with pistols or should I say handguns is very impressive indeed. Great effort and congrats to all of you and thanks for sharing. I'm interested in handguns but rules and regulations in Australia make it very difficult to own let alone keep a handgun at home. As for hunting I'm not sure what the law states but I'm living my dreams through you fellas. So please keep em coming and good shooting to you all.

chico,

Welcome to HHM! Perhaps you should "jump a boat" and visit and hunt with some of us "stateside." I recommend you don't wait too long! We have traitors in our midst that desire to deprive of of our rights.

Doc

Very nice, 14cm!

Chico,

for us outside the States, handgun hunting almost always means going abroad. The Northern Territory of your great country used to allow handgun hunting earlier but I believe that was changed about ten years ago. In my country handgun hunting has never been legal, except for the killing of trapped animals such as small furbearers and the like.

But if you go abroad, e.g. to the US - though with the strong exceptions of New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, foreigners can't possess handguns there - you can have a great time handgun hunting. As can be proved by some of my modest efforts below:

Nice pics, Mike!

X2!

Mike, that's a real nice ram!

Great pics guys!!
Good to see this thread rolling again.

MN

Great pictures and great trophies, KRal!

Thanks, but here's my favorites....

Great pics KRal!

my daughters are primarily into riding horses these days but they're young (7 & 5) and very interested in my hunting endeavors. So one day they will hopefully join me in the field! As can be seen below though, they liked the ram mount very much...

Great photo, Mike, haha! KRal, you must be very proud!

Great pics KRal!

Very nice, cottonstalk! Whi are the two young guys in the first picture??

That ain't funny!You ain't no spring chicken yourself.

Haha!! You've got that right -- lot's of hard miles! LOL!
