my first pistol killed buck!

[high country]

well today was the day to notch the tag for me. I made it to a piece of timber co ground at first light and this dude posed for me. it was kinda lame really as I was only there for 2 minutes, but thems the breaks! I made a 80yd poke with my 329 pd and jelloed the lungs. a complete pass through with a 240 gr winchester white box jsp.  lemme say that I will be pistol hunting a lot more now!
sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but it is what I had.

That is a dandy buck! Nice work

[quadrafire]

Uh oh! here we go. Is that barrel 4 inches?

That is cool. Does that thing kick pretty bad? its the scandium right. I like the feel of them.
Good job.

Good job.

329pd.....4" perfectly legal. it does bark pretty good, but I leave all my other 44's at home since this one came along.

Just givin you crap, kinda like the archery flashlight thing

Thats awsome for 80 yrds

[halflife65]

Great job!

I'm trying to think of some other questions that could make an otherwise exciting time and something to be proud of a total bummer.  (Obviously (I hope) kidding).  

GREAT shooting with a pistol! Congratulations - that is a pretty cool accomplishment.

[high country]

the gun looks short due to the added 500 s&w grips. I practice regularly at some pretty long ranges. 80yds slightly quartering away was still a pass through. I bet my 300gr beartooths would pass through at twice the distance.

[h20hunter]

Nicely done. Good looking buck, nice mass, cool gun, good shot, what more do you want.

[teanawayslayer]

nice buck.  Don't hit e'm any where but the vitals.  There won't be much left.  My buddy killed on with his 44 mag a couple of years ago.  Hit it right in the front shoulder and ruined both front quarters

[wildmanoutdoors]

Nice shootin and a nice Whitey!

there is less bloodshot meat on this buck then ones I have killed with fast rifles for sure.

[400out]

SWEET I would like to try pistol hunting sometime 

[300wsm]

80 yards with open sites, I'm impressed.  Nice shooting and a good buck to go with it.

[hunterbuilder]

That's pretty bad ass! Going Dirty Harry on that big buck! congrats!

[ser300wsm]

Nice shooting with a pistol at 80 yards.. Congrats to you ... 

[BushMonster]

Impressive, Impressive Indeed.

[Blacktail135]

 Nice shot! Ever read some of Elmer Keith's stuff?

[Austrian Hunter]

80 yards  Nice shootn!!

NICE JOB!!  I watched my buddy take a spike black tail a few weeks ago with his contender piston in  30 haret at a 175yds. It was pretty impressive.

[alecvg]

Nice!  That is a hard shot, especially with that gun!  I have a hard time controlling those!

[Angus]

Nice, I took a 2 point blacktail about 20 years ago @ 65 yards with a .44 mag. Ruger Blackhawk, more proud of that shot then any I've made with my bow, buck dropped in his tracks.

[carpsniperg2]

nice lookin buck for sure! congrats on the pistol harvest. i love hunting with a pistol, thats a great shot at 80 yards!

[C-Money]

Great accomplishment! Congrats! That is sure a good size buck!

[high country]

Nice shot! Ever read some of Elmer Keith's stuff?

I am torn between he and jack o connor.

thanks for the kind words guys......scratch a pistol harvest off the bucket list.

[ribka]

Congrats.

Have shot a few boar and one deer with a 44 Ruger Black Hawk but with an 8 inch barrel and all shots under 50 yds with a rest.

Nice shooting. Especially with a 4 inch. Was the shot off-hand or did you use a rest?

[high country]

off hand. we shoot clays at 50-150 yards in the summer with our pistols. the 500 grips really help, the factory v notch rear has to go in favor of a traditional partridge if you are going to seriously shoot with these. smith makes a 3 blade set of sights for various ranges too, although I only use them on my 6.5" 44.

on a side note, to go with this. both are great authors. read Elmer's book when i was young. i need to get a copy and read it again. some of the stories were pretty great in his books. and jack o connor is well jack o connor, a true legend.

[ribka]

Damn impressive shooting then. Will look into swapping out my grips and change sites.

Something to consider next year....

BTW used to read Keith and O'Connor as a kid and am a fan of both too

[PacificNWhunter]

Nice job, great shot!

[bigpaw 77]

That is so cool, great shootin on a great buck
