Best Bucks With A Handgun

those are some good looking beasts!

Dude, I'm so jealous right now. Those fallow deer are downright awesome.

Congratulations ....... been good hunting .....

Thanks guys!!! I want everybody to post their "big" buck kills on this forum! Let's load it up!!

Another reason to go to wilderness. They have fallow deer from mild to wild. I have seen one there that was pushing SCI world record status.

do rams count?
former #4 in the world by handgun

My best buck - 161 6/8 Net B&C

Leave it to Gary to show everyone how it's done.

Well that's about 30 years worth of hunting.

That last one is awesome Gary. What is the contender chambered in?

That was a 7mm International Rimmed. It was rechambered by Elgin Gates from a 7mm TC/U. That was 1986 and at the time it was ranked #2271 in the B&C book. The other B&W photo was 1984.

I see some Loudon County bucks there, Gary!

Following Gary...ugh.

Nice bucks - nothing to cry about there

SChunter, those are some very respectable bucks, especially the one in the first picture.

PH,

Those are very impressive!

Awesome Gary! I have taken more deer than I can count by handgun but for some reason big bucks avoid my handguns and step in front of my rifles.

PythonHunter-Awesome!

Great bucks PH!

And PH just reminded me why I put in for the Iowa draw...fantastic bucks!!!

Gregg nice bucks but what is the hardware you are using? Get to brag on that as well.

Great deer, Gregg!

West Virginia doesn't have the quality of many other states, but we have a few that are decent.

Dang, Doc! That last one's a STUD!

Yes he is - great mass

Nice one. Should be a booner. Did you have that last scored?

Thanks! From top to bottom: Contender in 6.5 JDJ; same; FA .500 WE; Encore 30-06 JDJ; Rod Custom Ruger .475 Linebaugh; Encore 30-06 JDJ, Contender 6.5 JDJ; Encore 30-06 JDJ.

WTG Doc!

The big boy was 183 5/8. Unfortunately, he was an estate deer. I could never find a free ranging one like that. He was on 500 acres and was not easy to hunt. I evened the odds by using my revolver. He's one of five animals I've killed behind a fence ever. Everything else the rest of my life has been free range.
Despite that, I'm still very proud of him. Used 265 gr. Swift HP. Ran 5 yds.

Hey Doc, Don`t forget I was with you on one of your fence kills. Am I that bad an influence??

Gregg, those are some nice deer man! I have a strong like for the 6.5 jdj but haven't hunted with mine but a couple times.

Nice bucks James! Y'all don't let him know but I'm going to camp out at PH's driveway and follow him hunting next year! Holy Smokes!
