Hunting for Mule Deer and Antelope last week with handguns
 
Without help from Chris Rhodes, I would have never got this done, as it would have been physically impossible.
Chris packed my mule deer out for me, and he helped me quarter every animal.
I got released from more limitations from my knee surgery, but I am still as weak as a kitten, and wear out quick.
I had a great time and even borrowed two of Chris's revolvers too boot. Feels good to get back in the saddle!
I did some hunting last week with a variety of handguns. It was a great week!
Mule Deer at 280ish yards with a 6.5 Creed XP-100 142 LR AB off of a tri-pod with Hog Saddle type clamp


Buck antelope with my 44 Magnum Franken-Ruger at around 110 yards-240 grain XTP (Black Hills Ammo)


Doe antelope with a 686 S&W at 124 yards. 158 grain XTP FP


Doe antelope at 255 yards with a 6 BR XP-100 Old School Remington Factory ammo 100 grain Corelokt


Coyote with a Performance Center 44 Mag at 91 yards - 240 grain Sierra JHP

Sounds like you and your buddy had a nice hunt. I have seen your photos on a couple other sites and enjoyed seeing them. Were you two hunting on private land?

Ernie Bishop 10-24-2019 08:21 AM

Yes, we were for this day and a half.
Chris and his wife took their buck antelope and his mule deer buck on public land, a couple weeks previous though.
We also hunted public land the week before for doe antelope, and I could have easily filled my doe tags with my XP-100, but I wanted to use revolvers.
We had a great time!
