My name is Bob (K-9 SAR). I'm a retired police sergeant,with 35 years of service. I served in the K-9 Unit as a Police Officer for 5 yrs. I was promoted to Sgt. in 74'. Went back to K-9 as the C.O. in 83' I retired in 2001 at the age of 58. Have been shooting handguns since I was ten, with my Dad, who was also a police Officer. I purchased a Ruger SRH 44 Mag. 7 1/2" and just ordered a Leupold FII 2x scope for it. Have been a hunter all my life,with bow, shotgun,& rifle. Thought I'd try handgun hunting. Did not see a deer I'd want to shoot this year, so I'm going to practice with the scope and get ready for next season. I'm getting some great info. from this site. I also surfcast, and travel with my wife, who has been real good about my hunting and fishing expeditions. Much thanks to those who started this site.
