Not revolvers. Not all the time but when targeting a certain buck during the rut I can hunt some pretty thick stuff where shots are about that of archery. Used to haul the long gun in there, then that changed to a Remington model 7, then that changed to a 7.5" Ruger Super Redhawk, now I'm using my Springfield Armory 1911 .45 or Sig P220 in 10 mm. Have had good luck with both.

I'm not there yet but if I ever get my accuracy down with my Ruger .44 mag I will be using it, especially at short ranges as you mentioned.

I've killed half a dozen with a Ruger 41 mag, quit toting it because I figured it was going to cost me a big buck one day(harder to handle/aim)
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I been wanting to hunt with one. Glock 23 (.40 S$W) is what I got. Will it kill one at archery range?

On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

Not Revolvers? What are you prejudice? I bet you hunt with a crossbow also 🤭🤣

Also getting on target takes longer, and you run the risk of seeing deer coming/going to your stand that are just out of range. But the trade off is that it is more sport and will sharpen your game.

It will but you've got to pick you shots and avoiding quartering shots at a distance. Most of mine are between 10 - 30 yards. As a general rule the further the shot the more you have to pay attn to angles. Up close it doesn't really matter. I've never had a pass-thru shot w/ the 45 or 10 like w/ the 44 so tracking can be tricky w/less blood.

I’ve had to finish off several folks deer with a 45. Take it with me hunting but haven’t had one come by close enough for a shot
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Not a pistol, but I’ve carried this 44MAG on occasion... just hasn’t come together yet. But it will soon enough I reckon.
