The first range trip should be entertaining.

 

What's in the bag?

Deer. That's why I just ordered one from Sportsmans Den.

 

 

Werd. That's primarily why I bought it. Also as a backup bear gun for future Alaska trips, though, I might eventually pick up a short barrel 500 since it'd be better suited for the role.

I did it backwards. I bought the short barreled 500 first.

Who would ever think that I was more likely to shoot at deer in Ohio then go back packing in Alaska.

Thanks for answering my question. Here's a dumb question, entertain a city kid for a min, do you REALLY need somthing that big for a deer? I mean a bear I can kinda understand but why not just carry a .45?

Because a .45 will kill a deer. Eventually. In the meantime, he'll go haring around Hell's Half-Acre, and you may never find him.

 

A .45 won't penetrate very far, and may not even go through the ribs. Even if it hits a lung, the chances of getting a heart-shot are puny. That leaves him anywhere from a few seconds to a couple hours to run like a motherfucker before his lungs fill.

Even hunters that use high-power rifles sometimes lose deer that run.

A .460, though, has more than enough mass and speed to go through the ribs, and will leave a gaping hole behind it. That means the lungs fill quickly, and the deer goes down fast. That is, IF the hydrostatic shock from a chest hit doesn't stop his heart.
