Handgun Hunting

[gd3006]

OK, I'm looking for your thoughts.

1st, how many of you hunt with handguns? I've done so in the past, but never had a decent opportunity to take a whitetail with a handgun. I'm looking for experiences/input as I'd like to try to take a deer this fall with a handgun.

2nd, what would be your choice of handgun for hunting whitetails (caliber/action/barrel length/etc). Range is not an initial consideration, but I realize that an "average" handgun is a short range weapon.

I have several handguns available for use, but I'd like your thoughts if you have any experience hunting with handguns.

Interested in any input you have to share.

I do like the Ruger Blackhawk in .357 with a 7.5" barrel. Chuck has a great deal of info on the subject.
