In many states the peak of the rut is smack dab in the middle of the early ML season. In a lot of cases they are shooting the same projectiles we are.

I started handgun hunting in the late 60's. In the 70's people just gave you a "look" of disbelief when you told them that you took deer and other game with a handgun. Today handgun hunting is respected by most

I agree that handgun hunters should get the same respect as primitive weapons hunters and bow hunters



Yes,
Back then, we handgun hunters had to deal with the fact that

pursuing large game with a handgun was considered a stunt,

especially here in Alaska!!

Some still think that way!!
