Here's my question. Say I could shoot a buck. I go hunting with this pistol that limits me to nearly the same distances as my bow, giving about 15-25 yards depending on the archer, and a large 150" deer walks out at 25 yards and I take it. Is this less of a trophy if I had not shot it with a pistol and shot it with my bow?
It depends on why your hunting. Are you hunting strictly for a challenge?
They could outlaw everything for hunting except a high tech rifle with a laser range finder scope and heat seeking amunition and I'd still hunt.
How about you?
Enjoy your trophy. If you have to question yourself on wether or not your harvest would be gratifying with any weapon you use then maybe your hunting for the wrong reasons.
