I took this 11 point whitetail last November during the Kentucky firearms season using my model 15 Dan Wesson chambered in 357 magnum.  I was shooting a 158 grain Hornady JFP pushed by W296 for 1330 fps.  The buck was traveling right-to-left at 40 yards when I hit him in the left shoulder.  He turned and ran and I added an off-hand, follow up shot that clipped his spine and put him down for good.

I recovered the first bullet in his off-side shoulder.  It retained 140 grains.

Awesome shooting.   My favorite hunting has always been with revolvers.  Thanks for sharing.

Great buck and with a revolver even better.  I certainly look forward to doing the same here in PA one of these years.. 

“We cannot but pity the boy who has never fired a gun; he is no more
humane, while his education has been sadly neglected.”

-Henry David Thoreau

“When some of my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether
they should let them hunt, I have answered, yes – remembering that it was
one of the best parts of my education – *make* them hunters.”

-Henry David Thoreau
