Ohio simplified the regulations last year, and the .450 is good to go.
Somewhere along the line the .44 Magnum went from being the most powerful revolver ever made to barely capable.
But, I can assure you.... If you want a .44 mag, it will work just fine for deer and hogs.
There are better options out there, some of those were listed above.... But that doesn't mean the .44 mag won't work.
My uncle took this hog earlier this week in Florida with a .44.
