I dont think you are wrong in the sense that you are entitled to your opinion, but I think a 158gr doing 700fps, would go right through a deers ribs, when fired from 10 yds, which is 5 yds farther than Ive shot deer w/ a 30 06 and 12 slugs. oh and those deer kicked for a minute too, and were shot in the head! Im not sure why someone would want to use a 38spl revolver for deer hunting, since you are drastically limiting your range ,but it would surly kill a deer, if you could get close enough and wait for a good angle. on the other hand, i briefly owned a 357 winchester 94 trapper, and I shot cheap 38spl 158 gr lead swc out of it. I wouldnt have hesitated to hunt deer or bear w/ it, and those bullets, in heavy cover.

I once saw a beaver shot with a .38 special. It took seven shots before it expired. Folks have no business using a .38 on deer!

I understand that there are attorneys at the Justice Department working on these issues who either represented Guantanamo detainees or worked for groups who advocated for them. This prior representation creates apparent conflicts of interest,” Grassley said. “My request is about establishing transparency and holding the Administration to its word to make the Government’s business public.”

You're a braver man than me to hunt bear with a .38. I suppose a hammer will work if you hit it hard enough in the right place.
