Watched a show on The Sportsman channel where they talked about deer hunting with a Ruger .44 Mag revolver. Just curious.

I've killed a bunch of hogs with one.
Only one deer.
All with .357mag
I have a .460mag that I will start hunting with this year.
I will shoot .454 Casull out of it though. .460s have too much recoil

I used to with my S&W model 29 .44mag (with Leupold scope).

Missed the biggest deer I've ever seen with it too!

I do not remember.

The one with the .357 was not planned

And was the easiest shot I have ever taken....
did not go far...

My Dad has hunted with a Ruger Blackhawk .44 with a 10-1/2" barrel for the past 40+ years. He bought his first deer rifle a few years ago. Open sights... He shot so much back in the day he has his cylinder marked with which holes line up the best. That pistol is a beast!!! 2-1/2 lb trigger, that Phucker is tricky!!!

He wants to shoot a grizzly with it, I'll post pics if that happens!!!

Shot a few hogs with my .44 mag. Never really tried to deer hunt with it. I imagine it would put a hurting on it though.

That's all I'm comfortable shooting with open sights on my 10mm.
