I also didn't realize how many great deer James " the boar slayer" had collected. What an accomplished sixgunner!

I'm just glad to be a part of such a group of dedicated handgun hunters. Deer hunting with our handguns is something that we all have in common.

Great pics everyone. Keep 'em coming.

The one that started it all...my first deer with a handgun. I was 17 and used a TC 30/30.

Matthew, my friend, you've made a lifetime out of hunting deer with handguns. Your MOA is one very cool pistol. I can't wait to hopefully shoot it again one day.

My turn! Not much to show since I'm still a relative newbie, but here goes:

First ever handgun killed deer, and my largest buck to date:

He walked out at 98 yards on opening day. A 155 grain A-Max from my 300 Win Mag Encore put him down after two steps.


One of my sister's friends unintentionally pushed this doe my way last year.

143 yards, also with my 300 Encore.



OT, but I just noticed my 30 pound weight loss between these events is quite visible in my face.

Chance, you took a great first handgunned deer. Buck or doe, every deer with a handgun is a trophy. Congratulations Chance!

Very nice!

Again, great thread. Been hunting since I was eight years old (54 now). This will be my first season to hunt exclusively with my revolvers.

Very inspirational gentleman

28 years ago, and I can remember most of this hunt like yesterday. I was in a shooting box and the woods were so, so quiet when snowflakes the size of half dollars started falling. I could actually hear the flakes hit the powdered snow.. As a crow flew low through the trees I could hear the flapping of his wings... And then I made a shot on this buck that was just under 100 yards.. The snowmobile and the ride back to camp with my buck to a warm camp fire made it one of those "you had to be there moments" which I`am sure you all have experienced in one way or another.....Yea...Whitetail deer hunting is a part of America like no other....

Dur, your FA 357 magnum will run step for step with my Ruger 357 Maximum, hard to believe but it's true. Nice deer buddy!
This is my best 357 Maximum Muley. Took him with iron sights somewhere short of 100 yds just before sundown with a 180 gr. cast bullet, he was down in 3-4 seconds. This is one of about 6 with the 357 Maximum.

That's a really nice buck you took there Mr. Thompson. I have always been intrigued with the 357 Max...I wish I'd gotten one of the Dan Wesson ones years ago.

Almost every time you post, even if it is about deer, I just keep thinking about those Rock Chucks

This has got to be one of the better threads ever on this forum. 17 pages of positivity and still going strong! Great pics everyone ! I also noticed the Bragging Board has awaken from its summer slumber. VERY GOOD!
But...there are still some heavy hitters missing. KRAL, DarrellH, I am looking for your posts.
