Thanksgiving Day, cold and overcast, snow on the ground...still hunting along an old trail with mixed hard and softwood..lot of deer sign on the ground...pretty good visibility...snow makes walking dead quiet...I am using the gun in my avatar, a .357 magnum, but now shes wearing a red dot...158 grain JSP...I come around a slight corner in the trail...all of a sudden literally right beside me a deer stands up broad side and looks right at me...I see spikes and swing the gun up cocking the hammer back at the same time...pop the red dot right on his ribs and let er rip..see the impact of the bullet rock n shock him..he runs about 20 yards...stops...falls down and expires right there...crazy fast action all over in seconds...what a rush..bright red blood on the white snow..round went right through him, good hole in..big hole out...shot range about 10 yards or less...venison stir fry, garlic, onions, olive oil and a tad of soy sauce, with some red wine..MMMMMM..thats hunting!

It is a real rush to kill one slip hunting and especially with a hand Gun, way to go.  cc

There is a reason they call it hunting.  Next time just scare the deer and then start tracking.      Nice eating buck.

That thar tree stand hunting is mighty effective, but I think still hunting is a dying art form, lot more fun then sitting in a tree all damn day IMHO... ...

" It didnt sound like there was a whole lot of hunting involved"

I told you I was like an Apache Ghost in the woods, with snow I am like an Apache Ghosts Ghost..

Thats awesome Nasty, Ive hunted a few times with a handgun, but never connected. SOmething I definitely want to do someday, Congratulations !

One question, I find the report of magnum revolvers to be quite bothersome to my hearing, aka they makes my ears ring like MAD !
Do you wear hearing protection while handgun hunting ?

I ask because I find that to be one of the cons of handgun hunting is I have to wear my muffs while hunting. Of course, maybe others can get away with it, but my ears ring enough already without subjecting them to magnum handgun sound levels, which by the way, are about the loudest thing you can hunt with, as far as i understand. Anyway, just wonderin' again congrats on the kill.

What the hell? Ya on a diet? Slap a slab of meat on that plate, better yet geta  normal sized plate and slap leg on it. 

[nastygunz]

I try to every time with a loud gun, in his case I had some foam plugs in..in the snow you cant usually hear anything anyways its a sight game. Def interested in some electronic muffs to look into. Woods hunting is where handguns shine, close shots and lots of sneak and peek cover

KyBoarSlayer, a .410 handgun for squirrel n bunnies and such is a real blast

Nastygunz, great story!  That's pretty much how we hunt blacktails in the west west- tippy toe along and shoot many of them at point blank range in thick wet timber.  Snow is a super bonus when we get it.  I love that kind of hunting in old growth timber.

Your buck should be supremely tasty.  Ignore the feeble remarks of lesser peasants whose taste buds do not rise to the level of haute cuisine.  But some ketchup and cornbread might go well with the red wine and venison.
