I have been away from handgun hunting for a few years. In the past I have taken 2 deer with .243 win and 7mm-08 encore setups, but I wanted something a little more packable. I recently purchased the following guns for the upcoming deer season:
5.5" bisley in .44 spl
6.5" blackhawl in .41 mag
I am eager to work up loads for each and I hope to drop a deer with each this year! I am pumped right now.
One shot, one kill.

Welcome back. You have a couple good ones there. Irons or optics?
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

You sure chose a good pair to come back with. Welcome back!
If it were supposed to be easy, they'd have sent my little sister to do it.

Nice! I use my 4-4/5" Blackhawk in 44 special as my back up and it was my go-to side arm for back-packing gear and meat! Welcome back!
