Handgun400, I hear buddy..I guess that I grew up just loving to hunt, and growing up on a dairy farm gave me a lot of opportunities to do so. I'll honestly never be able to catch the legends of the past,but that's why they're legends. Deer are the most prolific targets of opportunity and they taste pretty good too 😉😆 In all seriousness, deer hunting is the bread and butter of hunting in the Southeast

Yes sir. I cut my teeth chasing whitetails with an old Browning humpback 5 and buckshot in south Arkansas. Back when I didn't know that you "couldn't kill deer with buckshot". I stacked them up with it until I moved up to a .30/30 and on to a Winchester 70. Nothing was better than fresh tenderloin, fried taters, biscuits and gravy at deer camp. Lordamighty that's good.
Wish I'd gotten into handgun hunting earlier but now I just make the most of it.
