Hello, i've been tring to figure out a good pistol to use for hunting whitetail in maryland. I know a .357 is more than enough to kill a deer, but is it legal to use? I've not been able to find the ft/lbs on the shells i've looked at.

I was looking at a .44 magnum, which is enough, but i ran across a ruger redhawk for about 350.00 Does any one else hunt with a .357 mag in Maryland? Have you had any issues with the DNR?

Thanks
