Probably this. But in the 1980's handgun hunting was sort of unusual and that drew me toward it. I was drawn to bow hunting and handgun hunting seemed like the perfect next step. Most of my woods shots were under 75 yds and using a handgun felt like a challenge.

As I got older, I began not really caring if I scored and how I scored was more important to me than scoring. Handgun hunting is pretty much the only way I will hunt deer now. If I don't practice, I don't hunt. I don't grab the rifle just because it's easy.
