finally scored with the handi.

[mmt7714]

Well, I got my first handi this year in 44 mag and have been hunting with it pretty hard this year so far. I have passed on a pile of does and some very young bucks, but just couldn't help myself yesterday when a 3 to 3.5 yr old six point decided to stroll by looking for does. One shot, 50 yds, extremely dead deer that went down where he stood. I am going to have to name this gun "No Tracking Needed". Bullet entered a little high and behind front right shoulder, turned lungs into jelly, took out bottom of spine, and exited with about a silver dollar sized hole. Couldn't ask for anything better. Have some pics but they are 35mm. Its the only camera I had at the time, but I will try and get them up soon.

Way To Go! 

What bullet did you use?

[mmt7714]

Winchester white box, 240 gr. I believe. They seem to shoot the best out of this gun.

What is that? Some new high tech digital format?

   White box works for me in my Handi, my Redhawk, and my son's Rossi '92.

hey thats might nice....my grandaughter shoots a 44mag handi shorty and she says
"i ain't shoot'n no doe wif babies" !!!! so shes buck look'n most of our does have lil'uns
that lost spots maybe 3-4 months ago. ifin a doe comes out and a lil'un follows,,,, there just fer watchin.
she knows that after christmas... we don't take no more does.

we have seen a few scrapes and rubs but no sign of them really going nuts yet
but i believe it should be soon. and then she will throw down !!!

her brothers both have had good luck so far, but she will prolly win the contest by the end of january.

i'll see to that !!!!
