Default RE: Semi-Auto Pistol, Range/Deer gun.. Suggestions?

Ok, I guess if I want to hunt with this gun... the Semi-Auto is out of the question! I did look at a few of the larger caliber semi auto's and there way over my price range. I do, however, really like the feel of the Ruger GP revolvers. They seem to fit me like a glove!

My next question... Is the 357mag a decent caliber to deer hunt with? The redhawk is a little over what I really want to spend but they come in 44 Rem. mag and 45 colt... the GP 100's only come in 357 and 38 caliber. Most of my deer hunting is over bait and shots are usually within 40 yards anyways.

Is the Ruger GP 100 in 357 with the 6" barrel a capable gun to deer hunt with for shots out to 40 yards?
