Hello all, new to the forum. On a couple of other ohio forums, some are great some aren't lol. Figured this would be a good place to post my first pistol deer kill I got on my gopro.

Good job and welcome to Too world.
No need to worry about the 44 mag. used on deer. I've taken 22 deer with the 44 mag. and 1 with a 45LC. All with cast bullets and never recovered a bullet.

Very impressive ! Welcome to TOOville. That's quite a setup you have. I'm thinking this is the first handgun kill posted this year ?
Yes first deer hangin kill ever. Got it on second day. Didn't see anything first day. I was soooo excited. Thanks everyone!! I really want to do it again next year. Also never thought I would but I think I'd like to give bowhuntung a try next year as well

Canoecarpkiller,
Welcome to The Ohio Outdoors and Congratulations on an excellent handgun kill. :smiley_blink:
I shot my first handgun deer last year and I'm addicted.
What type/weight of bullet were you using?
I used a 240gr. SWC (hard cast), last year, but switched to a 240gr. JHP this year.

It was actually just some plain jane 240 grain PMC hollow points. I was worried about the performance before hand, but they functioned perfectly. It was a double lung shot and a thumb sized hole all the way through. Thanks again everyone!! I've watched my own video twenty times lol.
Congrats. Nice trigger control.
Don't know if I would hunt the stand if you let me though. Lol. I never trust home-made jobs unless I do it myself.

Congratulations! I've taken about a half dozen handgun deer over the years. There is no better feeling of empowerment when pulling back that hammer in which I'm sure you felt. Glad you got to share your feel good moment. Nice shooting and nice GoPro.
