It's been many years since I have been deer hunting,,,
If I go it'll be primarily as the camp cook,,,
More to get out than to hunt.

They hunt on his private property,,,
They have stands built all over the place,,,
I'm thinking I would like to try taking a deer with a handgun.

I've been practicing with my 6" S&W Model 629,,,
Off of a rest (similar to the side of the stands they have built),,,
I can keep most of the shots in a 6" circle at 40 yards and all within 10 inch.

I don't know if that will be good enough for me,,,
Last thing I want to do is wound a deer.

If I'm not confidant enough for the revolver,,,
I'll go to my old standby which is an 8mm German Mauser.
