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.

New Jersey Muzzleloader Deer
This is the deer taken on 12-22-07 by my 16 year old son Connor. It was his first deer with the muzzleloader and not a bad one. Yes, he may only be a 7 pointer, but he is as high as it looks and good mass.
