Beginner's Guide to Big Game Handgun Hunting If you desire to hunt with a handgun, without doubt, you need to do your homework. Many hunters who carry a
rifle are not comfortable shooting with a handgun. Indeed, there are many reasons why one should hunt with a rifle
but once mastered, a change of venue may be just what you are looking for. That's not to say hunting with a rifle
is a cakewalk, it can be very challenging and in the favor of the game sought. When you pick up a handgun and
decide to hunt big game, the bar is placed even higher.

Alberta Mulie Hunt Well it was the last day of the season, or so I thought. I pulled myself out of bed at around 4:30 am thinking to myself I have a mulie tag that's not filled, so I better give it one more try. Jumped in the truck and headed north to Drayton Valley Alberta, to an area that I saw while I was working in the area earlier in the year. One field that caught my eye, had some does in it.
