Wheelgun for the 2024 season?
Quote from handgunhuntingafield on August 20, 2024, 2:26 pmWhat wheelgun(s) do you plan to run for this season? This 460 with Ultradot Gen2 will chase elk and a Spohr will go after deer…
what are you running?

Quote from GuyM on June 24, 2025, 5:59 amI must confess that I only carried a handgun as a secondary firearm last season. Hunted both mule deer and black bear, only took a muley doe and that was with my rifle. Had a number of deer in easy handgun range, but they weren’t legal game because of antler point restrictions. Just a young buck and several does… I was hoping for big antlers again.
Did carry my 5″ S&W 629 with Ahrends grips and a Dawson Precision front sight. It was loaded with 240 gr Hornady XTP’s over a stout charge of H110. I was sure it was plenty of gun for deer or black bear at reasonable ranges.
