Let's see a few of y'all's WT Deer with your handguns

475/350 Rem Mag 400 gr XTP

376 Steyr 300 gr Norma Oryx

Last year gun season about 50 yards with my 357 mag contender shooting a 180 xtp about 1600. Done more load development since then this year it'll be a 180 of some sort probably an a-frame or more xtp about 1800. But I heard this fellow crunching over the hill while I was still hunting so I poked my head over the hill got a good rest off a tree he looked at me and I put one in his Adams apple.... Bullet bounced of the neck bones and stopped under the hide on the back of his neck... Doesn't sound like good penetration but he was about 300lbs on the hoof.

Freedom Arms 555 50 AE
Definitely not a big buck, but an albino doe is pretty cool to me

Very Nice Bushytailbasher 👍🏻😬 That's what I'm talking about

ALL RIGHT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hopefully ill get some more pics this year... Ive killed a few more but I have no pictures lol several with my 45/70 barrel a doe with the 41 mag Blackhawk I used to have before it got stolen. Id like to have a big revolver again.

I had to include my wife too, I'm glad to have a wife that hunts with a handgun and supports my handgun hunting...I get to hunt whenever I want

This one was pretty good and the picture was handy.lol

Albino is cool I've seen one albino and several piebald around here but never got a shot at one. That's a nice one james I killed one about that size in '09 with a compound. Scored 153 1/8.

Dang James, Great Buck

I thought that this would be a cool thread since this is the animal that most of us hunt

I was once told that any deer with a bow is a trophy. I find that true as well with a handgun. And I've got to stop being so picky on my deer.

Bring back some great memories!

Thanks. I actually shoot more does with a handgun than bucks. Not bragging but I lost count of does killed with a handgun and I still get excited when pulling the hammer back on a doe. That is one of the beauties of handgun hunting. It isn't about the size of the horns but rather the achievement of taking a animal with senses 50 times as good as ours with a means that is hard to master.

with my .480

Guys, this is wonderful! Congratulations on all of these fine trophies...deer hunting is what most of us do, I just really enjoy seeing all of these handgunned deer

This was my first handgun kill and it might as well have been the new world record. I know this was a best deer thread but I think we all like looking at each others pics. I probably have pics of 300-400 of my deer and wish I had pics of all of them.

one with my .45

Keep them guys...most deer seasons are just right around the corner
