Default Big Game Handgun - Got the Bug - HELP

Well guys, for some reason I haven't been craving buying a new gun in a while (in fact its been a year), and this is highly unlike me (I'm gonna be 23 next month) and I have 20 some guns at the moment.

I decided that I really wanted to get a deer hunting/personal defense revolver (from bears, mt lions, etc). I want to be able to shoot 50 yards (or more if possible), be fairly lightweight and easy to carry, and pack good punch. I think I'm gonna stick to the 44mag unless someone can talk me out of it for something different.

Here is what I'm leaning towards at the moment. http://www.ruger-firearms.com/Firearms/FAProdView?model=811&return=Y

All info/suggestions, etc would be greatly appreciated in this matter. I have numerous handguns in my stash, and shoot them all very well. Will the above gun be a good shooter? I will handload all my cartridges and shoot it quite often.
