This is my first year truly hunting Big Game with a handgun, but over the years I have killed dozens of Raccoon, Rabbit, and Squirrel with a High Standard 22 Revolver and a Ruger Mark II 22. Hoping to retire my long guns and just use my Bow and Handgun for Big Game from now on. Just harvested my 1st Big Game, a Whitetail Buck with the Ruger in 454 Casull.

Deer, squirrels, feral dogs. My most gratifying/satisfying

''kill'' was a Craftsman chainsaw l bought to clear a pond

l had purchased for a home site.. l was forever sharpening

the blade, tightening the bar, oiling and gassing this devil

machine from Sears... Even had it worked on a couple times.

Still it was the same old dog and pony show... Then one day

l finally had ENOUGH. l pulled out my S&W K38 and put a bullet

thru the block. Then gave it a watery grave by throwing into the

deepest part of the pond:-) l never felt better about a KILL

before or since. lt was really an EXECUTION.. That damn saw

refused to DIE. As the years passed l would see an occasional oil

spot on the pond surface

With my 22A I've taken more armadillos with it than I can count. once with my .357 I had to shoot a beaver out of self defense it died at my feet as I was stuck in a mucky marsh, apparently I made him feel cornered or something.


What is a "close call" on a whitetail? Were they shooting back at you?

CRAIG44: IN THE MID 50's I GOT A PLAINSMAN BB CO2 PISTOL AND MY HANDGUN HUNTING CAREER STARTED. TOOK WATER TURTLES AND SNAKES WITH IT, PLUS BIRDS OF ALL KIND, ESPECIALLY GRACKLES, AND A RABBIT. ALSO GOT TO SHOOT MY FATHER'S FS RUGER 22 AUTO PISTOL AND JAP NAMBU AS A KID. A GOOD BEGINNING.
