Who's heading out Monday with a handgun? And what are ya shooting?
I'll be in Ohio with my super black hawk, looking to tag a nice buck. Back in PA on the saturdays, I'll be looking for a doe with my GP-100. I am really pumped from shooting so well my last trip to the range.

I have a Ruger Super Redhawk .44 mag with open sights.
I've taken it with me, but never had the opportunity to take a deer with it. Use 300 grain Hornady XTP's.

Usually have enough crap I'm carrying in and opt not to carry an extra 6 pounds, but I do carry it on drives in the real thick stuff.

Sad to say I won't be using the handgun this season. I did not have the practice time this year, so I can't ethically see myself doing it. I have taken 12 deer with the .44 Super Red and my handloads over the years, and can still shoot it very well, but I usually put 300-400 rounds downrange over a couple of months to be ready. I just wouldn't feel right to go out in the next couple of days and put a couple of boxes on target and say that I am as "ready" as I should be... Good luck to all of you!!!
