I don't; I use a shotgun, but I'd like to contribute.Hey guys, just wondering if anyone uses a 44 mag as there main deer gun.
Yes. You do need one. You need to convince the wife to agree. Yes, all of those are great guns.If so what do you recommend? Marlin 1894, Ruger 77/44, Winchester, Henry.... I have shot Spainys Marlin, and now I am pretty sure that I NEED one. Just not sure if the wife agrees. Any ideas?
Honestly, I don't know why someone would want to carry one of these. More power to those of you that do, but I'm sticking with my muzzleloader. I do have a 458 socom on order, but that's just for more of a "because I can" kind of thing. I know for a fact my muzzleloader is good to 200+ yards if needed and I don't know of a legal rifle that is (maybe a 500, but it falls off fast). I have carried a handgun before in the woods, but as more of a back up.
FYI, I know people that hate the cursed muzzleloader, but you guys really need to check out this website. Randy Wakeman Shooting Sports I shoot a Savage Model 10 MLII. The coolest thing about this gun is its ability to shoot SMOKELESS RIFLE POWDER, notice I didn't say pyrodex. Cleaning is easier than most other rifles on the market and the ballistics are amazing.
I know this might not be what you're looking for, but I think it's the most etical way to take deer in Indiana today. Plus your range is better than doubled from a handgun cartridge (or most handgun cartridges). Anyway, just my
