After 3 years of futility and endless static from other members of my deer party, I finally got a deer with a handgun today. Deer is a little button buck, got him with one shot at 50 yards as he was facing straight at me. Gun is my David Clements Redhawk in .500 Linebaugh, launching a 440 LFN from a Ballisticast mould (water-quenched W/W) at 1000 fps. Bullet exited, of course, leaving behind a real nice wound channel that utterly destroyed one lung.

Yep, you got me! The deer made the mistake of trying to steal my Dew, and we just can't allow that!

You guessed it. Because I wasn't using a high-tech wonder bullet at 3000 fps it bounced off and I had to run over and whack the deer over the head with the barrel of the gun.
Actually, bullet raked through about two feet of deer before exiting, went through 1 rib, dislocated the left front shoulder, through one lung, the stomach and exited, same side that it went in. Deer went about 50 feet and dropped.

Dan:
Thank you for your kind words. However, I must say that the fact that you are in FLA now speaks volumes about the Iowa winter. Besides, if I put up a pic of me in a bathing suit it might cause outbreaks of illness among forum members! Then they wouldn't be able to buy as many of Marshall's bullets.
