Pistols provide challenge
for those daring hunters
When (me gets right down to it, it makes very little
sense to try handgun hunting for deer. You are so
restricted by the short range and low power of a handgun
cartridge even when compared to a caliber such as the
30-®), the best pistol rounds comes up lacking you
would think a hunter would take up one of the numerous
high powered rifles offered and make it easier on himself
to bag his deer.
But some hunters don’t always
want things easy. Like the archer JB
or the black powder shooter, they
feel that the challenge and rewards >s®
of taking a game animal such as a
white tail deer or black bear with a
handgun is reason enough to
handicap themselves.
Handgun hunting for deer in
Georgia is a relatively new thing, TIB
only recently having been mcciWBOTHAM
legalized by the legislature of our
fair state. In passing the necessary Outdoors columnist
ordinances required to make
handgun hunting legal, the legislature had to work
through several committees. And, like anything that is
the result of a committee decision, there has been
considerable confusion as to what is and is not a legal
deer pistol.
The basic description of a legal deer handgun is simple
enough. The sights must be of the adjustable type, no
doubt to bring about the best in accuracy. The barrel
must be at least 5.9 inches or longer. That is to ensure the
round passing down the barrel will have built up enough
velocity and energy.
The tricky part comes in deciding what caliber is legal.
It is supposed to be powerful enough to exert 500 foot
pounds of energy at 100 yards. This will include some of
the best calibers but also leaves out some of the most
popular.
One of the most popular handgun calibers around is the
.357 magnum. A favorite with law enforcement
personnel, target shooters and hunters alike, it is a very
fine cartridge. In the hands of a capable marksman it is
more than able to cleanly kill a deer. After, jacklighters
and other dirt bags that make a habit of poaching deer
kill them with calibers as small as the .22 short.
These poachers use small calibers such as these to
keep the gun’s report down and thus avoid detection. If a
.22 rimfire can kill a deer when properly placed, there
can be little doubt that a round with the power of .357 will
do likewise. The problem comes in trying to meet that 500
foot pounds of energy requirement.
About the only two factory loads I know of which can
consistently show this type of power is the C.C.I.
lawmmen 140 grain jacketed hollow point load and the
NR A conducts Sight-In Days
As the 1984 fall hunting season
opens, gun clubs nationwide will con
duct the National Rifle Association's
Sight-In Days Program. The pro
gram provides sportsmen with an
opportunity to accurately sight-in
their firearms and bows at life-sized
game targets.
Riflemen and bow hunters will be
able to test the accuracy of their
sporting arms by shooting at paper
targets of various wild game, while
shotgunners will fire at clay targets

Winchester 140 grain Silvertip hollow point. These are
two of the very best .357 loads you can use and, as long as
you stay with one or the other, you should be safe.
The energy requirements of the handgun hunting law
leave out some calibers that have been used by hunters in
other states to take deer for years. The .45 Long Colt and
.45 ACP round are two of these. Even though they are
completely capable of taking a deer, it is best to leave
these at home.
Try going with either the .41 or .44 Remington magnum
calibers. Each of these rounds will easily meet the
requirements of the law as well as serving as excellent
big game cartridge. Choosing between the two can be a
chore, as each has its own characteristics that may
appeal to you. The .41, .44 and .45 Automag calibers are
great but virtually impossible to find a gun to Are them
from or ammunition if you do. The Winchester .45
magnum round, built to be fired from the Wildey
automatic pistol, is fine, but again guns and ammo are
scarce. When choosing a handgun and caliber, keep in
mind that a lot of practicing goes into becoming a good
pistol shot, so a readily available ammo supply is a must.
The .41 and .44 magnum rounds are so close in
performance that you might decide there is no point in
choosing one over the other. On the surface, this appears
to be the case, but there are substantial differences
between the two. The .41 magnum has nearly the same
energy and in some cases a little better trajectory than
the .44 magnum. Recoil, at least to me, is somewhat than
from the .44 magnum. The .41 is considered by many to
be a more accurate round than the .44.
Seems like most folks would then be shooting the .41,
does it not? Well, guess again because there are probably
a hundred .44 mags in use for every .41. Why this is so is
fairly easy to see. The .44 magnum has been popularized
by a certain series of movies featuring a certain hardline
San Francisco detective and his great big .44 magnum.
While some of the things this detective does in the movies
would be impossible to do with any .44, his exploits sure
come across good up on the silver screen.
Thus even though the .41 magnum can be considered a
better cartridge in some ways than the .44, by reason of a
superior press agent rules the big-bore handgun roost.
There are very good deer rifles chambered for the .44
magnum, and you are limited to the magnum cartridges
in the .41. There are also a greater variety and supply of
ammo out there for the .44 than for the .41.
Ammo for the .44 magnum is cheaper than that for the
.41 due to the greater supply produced by the ammo
companies. Handguns such as the Ruger Blaekhawk in
.41 and the Smith & Wesson model 57 are usually a lot
lower-priced than their .44 magnum counterparts,
although you could make up the difference in the first box
or two of shells you buy.
which simulate flying game birds.
If a hunter’s firearm or bow doesn't
aim properly, a program volunteer
will assist the hunter in making accu
rate sight adjustments, while guns
miths will be available to perform
equipment and safety checks. Once
the hunter’s sporting arm is shooting
precisely and operating safely, the
sportsman is prepared for the field.
