hangun deer hunting

You could carry it as a side arm while hunting during rilfe season and if the oppurtunity presents itself kill a deer with it.

I've carried one before during rifle season just in case something comes in close, but this year I'm going to hunt exclusively with a handgun during gun season. Blackhawk 4 5/8" .45 Colt for brushy spots and the Backhawk Hunter .44 Mag for longer shots.

This is a great post. I normally carry a .45 auto while hunting due to a friend getting rushed by a wild boar a few years ago. I was considering carry my .44 Mag 629 Classic DX this year and if the opportunity arrises, use that instead of the rifle. Any more ammo recommendations for handgunning deer with a .44 Mag?

Ruger Blackhawk .357 mag.. Lots of fun.

Any factory round in .44 mag will take any deer as long as its a HP.
A good hard cast lead round has taken many deer for those that use them.
Its all about putting the bullet where it belongs.

I've heard nothing but good things about Hornady XTPs. That's what I'll be carrying in both my .44 and .45.

Ruger GP 100, .357mag is a good deer gun as well.

After watching Uncle Ted and Keith Warren kill deer and hogs with a Glock 20 10mm, I broke down and got one this spring. So far, I've shot a copperhead and an armadillo with it. It's deadly accurate. I can't wait until deer gun season. It'll be on my side for close shots.
