    Still remember my first with a handgun, a Ruger Bisley 45 colt. Hunting with a handgun changes your entire hunting strategy. Makes it a whole different experience, and when executed well, it's a very satisfying experience. You executed it very well...congrats!

    Congratulations. As others have stated, any kind of deer is a trophy in my opinion with a handgun. I've wanted to try it and have carried a handgun for several years but always have a rifle too. As long as you have the rifle it's mighty hard to put it down and use the lesser effective gun. I just this year discovered a real good close-up ambush spot to put a blind for next year where shots will mostly be within 50 yards or well under. I think that would give me a reasonable chance to connect with my 44 Super Blackhawk.

    Congratulations on your first handgun deer!Only three so far for me, and I'm hooked. My limited experience tells me that a .357 magnum, a .41 magnum, and a .54 BP pistol all kill close range deer the same amount of dead.
