Any deer that you get with a pistol is a trophy in my book. Good eatin there.

Congratulations, taking a deer with a six-gun is special.

I am so envious. Been trying to get one in front of my Ruger 44Spec Flattop this season myself. Congratulations, you earned and deserve it.
Congrats on a fine deer. Is that a SBH Hunter? I've got one in 45 Colt; great gun. I've taken a couple of bucks and a doe with it. Last year was lucky enough to take a doe with a 1911 (MiHec 454423 HP). Handgun hunting is a lot of fun. But you already know that.
Well done . Congratulations .

I am guessing the bullet went clean through?
Congrats! Any deer with a handgun is a trophy!
I have a similar problem- my Ruger SRH .480 is very effective deer repellent. Every time I take it into the woods the deer leave the county. Maybe next year.

Congrats! I don't really have a "hunting" handgun, but my 6" S&W 586 would probably work well for it.
Congratulations. Nothing quite like it.

I would disagree on both counts. You put the boolit where it needed to be...great shot. You took a fine eating animal using a handgun that added a higher degree of difficulty. Every time you fix a meal with that excellent tasting meat you'll be reliving the hunt. I'd say that is the definition of spectacular. Great job.

Any problem can be solved with the correct application of explosives.
The 2nd amendment was never intended to allow private citizens to 'keep and bear arms.' If it had, there would have been wording such as 'the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. -Ken Konecki, July 27, 1992
Well done and congratulations!
The last deer I killed was with my Ruger SRH + 4X Leuold with a 320gr SSK cast boolit over Win 296. That's been several years ago. Getting a long-eye-relief scope aligned so it will "light up" while you've got a case of buck fever is an accomplishment. Holding it still to make the shot is still another accomplishment.
VENISON FOR CHRISTMAS, that's doing pretty well!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS Everyone.

Any deer popped with a hunting revolver can be considered a Trophy, especially the first one!
Gives you a Handgun hunting fever!
The good handgun kills come from getting where the woods is really thick and hard to get through, you find some trails and try to get up a tree overlooking the trails or put up a stand that gives you good elevation. Pick a spot over trails that converge, make sure you have a couple of clear shooting lanes, and just enjoy being in the woods and they will walk right under your tree many times. If you want to make SURE you get a handgun kill, carry a rifle with you and lay it across your lap that'll usually do it for sure..

Every deer I take with my handgun is a trophy because it takes a little more practice and skill than a rifle. I'm kind of cheating with an 18" barreled .357 Max, but it still doesn't have a buttstock! Good shooting and enjoy the eats!

That's awesome, congratulations. I absolutely love that revolver. I have a SBH Hunter in .44 Mag that has been one of my favorite guns. It took me a couple seasons before I got any big game with a handgun. I finally had to put the rifles up and only hunt with the handguns to get one. The first time I got one with a revolver was with my SBH Hunter using cast. Great combo and keep it up! Handgun hunting is super fun and addicting and it's made that much more special using your own cast bullets.
