I usually take a doe or two with a revolver every year. I always carry one during the gun season in IL.
I’m thinking about only carrying it this year and leaving the slug gun in the truck. I usually opt for the slug gun if big horns show up.
I’ve taken a couple 2 ½ year olds, but maybe this year I can improve on that. .44 mag, .454 Casull, .45LC and the .50 are the choices I have, all have taken deer.
Ruger and Smiths are my weapons of choice.
