My wife used a Honda Prius.

In the 50's, my aunt shot a deer, got her tag on it, then the "dead deer" ran off. She was going after it when another hunter shot it. They had a bit of discussion about who shot it until they reached the deer. When the other hunter saw the tag, he said, "Lady, if you're quick enough to tag your deer before you shoot it, you can have it."

Sorry, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept of "one shot group". I know what you're talking about though, it's just how it sounds.

"Dead deer aren't always dead" is a lesson my mom had to learn the hard way, when the adrenaline kicks in a deer can run hard enough to pump blood with their leg muscles instead of their heart. She got a good center-mass hit on a buck with her M77 .308 and it went running, stumbled after a few yards, she THOUGHT it was down, but when she got there it got back up and she took another shot off-hand, breaking its back. It started coming AT her, just dragging itself way faster than front legs on a mortally wounded deer have any right to be capable of, and closed the distance before she could cycle the bolt. Ended up holding one antler and sticking her .38 snubnose in its ear, THAT finally stopped it.

So far I have taken deer with handguns in .357 mag, 45 Colt, 454 Casull, and 45-70 (it was a BFR). Out of all of them I probably like the 45 Colt with Ruger only level loads(325grain going 1,200fps). It fits nicely in that range of not too big to carry comfortably, not too much recoil and can be a good gun for the bears we sometimes encounter when hunting here in Montana.

These have all served me well. I have one ladder stand where the "primary zone" is straight out about 150 yards, but there's also a row of trees about 50 yards to the right that deer like to pop out of randomly. It's much easier to draw a pistol from a chest holster and get on target than trying to swing the rifle around, and the range is about perfect for any decent handgun and ammo. Great video, Paul!

They are even more reasonable because ballistic gel is artificial target. It's main and probably only advantage is that it can be done in uniform way and properties across the testing sites - good for comparison. But for real target, where bullet has to pass through interacting layers of different properties - fur, skin, muscle/bones, lungs it has very little to say. Reason why I like tests done by Paul so much.

Gel is designed to be a consistent medium for the basis of comparison between one thing and another. Equivalencies have been drawn between gel and thoracic cavities of real creatures, but that's all that can be done, equivalencies. That's why the FBI specifies a range of depth in gel. Some independent testers use gel in combination with a dense piece of fiber board to simulate a bone impact, for instance.

Paul, I have watched you for some time now and really appreciate your videos for a number of reasons. The level of knowledge and amount of education is phenomenal but the level of humility and the care taken to avoid misinformation to the inexperienced is really impressive. I wanted to point out a missed teaching moment that occurred to me in this video. I am 56 years old and have been hunting since I was 16. Like most I started out with a 22 single shot and learned to shoot understanding that there was no quick follow up and that I only had one shot on squirrels which prepared me for deer and other game. I currently live in a state that allows handguns of .30 caliber or greater with a straight case. This allows for the Thompson Center which I shoot in the 45-70 loading my own and allows for the challenge of one shot. We cannot use center fire rifles, only shotguns with slugs (although that may change this year) so I opt for the pistol and my black powder rifles. All that said, the teaching moment is this: You are an accomplished marksman who shoots possibly everyday and you still had an incident (like many of us who consider ourselves seasoned outdoorsmen) where what you thought was a kill shot at modest hunting distances was off and you made the mistake of not carrying your primary weapon to make sure that your quarry was dead. The teaching moment is that if this can and has happened to you when buck fever is probably at a much lower level at your experience level what can others with much less time in the field expect? Just a quick thought. Thank you for doing what you do for the shooting community and how your'e most definitely educating shooters new and old with your very cool brand of informative videos.

Another fascinating masterclass. Always a good day when Pauls latest video appears on my notifications list. Thanks !

You already have tag limits. it's like they just want me to buy more magazines. Do they get a kick-back or something?

What does suck is when your state doesn't specify that a law is just for hunting, so it becomes illegal to have a loaded magazine in a rifle or shotgun in a car, just because some hicks like to take potshots at deer from their trucks. Hunting becoming a regulated sport is one thing, but hunting laws regulating normal firearms possession kind of sucks.

Sometimes i don't care what you talk about, after a long week, it's only about your sense of humor. Thanks Paul.

Paul. Keep doing what you do, the way you do it. I have never hunted, and unlikely to unless we get into a SHTF situation. That being said, I have learned a lot from you and your videos, about guns, their safe use, tactics in self defense/combat situations, and gun capabilities. Thank you sir.

Thanks so much for this video, I've been a long time handgun hunter for deer and love the challenge. Enjoy hearing others experiences and types of handguns they use. Love all the guns that you use. I started hunting in Indiana when I was younger and in IN you could only use a shotgun to hunt with in gun season. Back then there wasn't accurate shotgun like there is today so I choose to hunt with a muzzleloader which was very accurate. Not long after that they opened the law to include handguns the lowest caliber that you could use was a 357 mag. So I purchased a TC contender with 14" barrel chambered in 44 mag killed many deer with this gun. Then latter purchased a TC contender in 35 Remington with 16" barrel with a scope loved it also. Later purchased Ruger gp100 in 357 mag. Killed 3 to 4 deers every year with them loved the challenge. This year just for the challenge I'm going to use my Glock 22. Thanks again so much for sharing this video loved revolver chambered in 444 Marlin. Very cool gun.

One of the only 'notable' channels I've seen throw shade at Paul has some unprofessional guy rating ammo based on "FBI standards" while not seeming to understand that those standards were arbitrarily chosen so their lab could recreate tests easier. Ballistics gel kind of makes sense for that scenario, but the sacred penetration scores are so reliant on temperature, barometric pressure, and age of the gel that you might as well not try them outside of a lab, and hydrostatic shock is still debatably lethal at best. At least meat targets give a visceral understanding of tissue damage, even if it's not exactly 'perfect'.

Thanks for the video,great job. I asked you a few months ago to do one and you did. Being a handgun hunter for many years you were dead on with video. I particularly liked the 357 and 44 part since thats my favorites . Keep up the great work !

The point of gelatin is that it's consistent, not that it's a realistic representation of a living animal. With a meat target your results will vary depending on the animal the meat came from (one might be fattier or more muscular even if you get identical cuts of meat), the part of the meat you hit, the way the oranges in the bags arrange themselves, etc. With gelatin you can make a more accurate comparison between different rounds because it'll always react the same way if it's made right. When one round penetrates 6 inches deeper than the other it's not because you hit a rib with your first shot and didn't on your second but because there's an actual difference between the two rounds.

GREAT JOB ON THE VIDEO PAUL!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU DO EVERYDAY!! THANK YOU PAUL!!! DON'T STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!

Fantastic video, Paul! Very informative, and much appreciated!!!

My first deer hunt ever was with a 2x scoped Taurus 608 6" 357 magnum revolver, and I claimed my kill at 147 feet away. Everyone else at the cabin pulled out scoped shotguns, and asked what I would be using. I produced the revolver, and they had questions. Ohio had just legalized the use of straight-wall cartridges that year, and I figured, if I can bust clay pigeons at 35yd reliably with iron sights, the scope wouldn't hurt. 🦅🇺🇸🥳

@timmybmn, I totally agree. The lesson that I was referring to learning though was to also, not leave the hunting rifle behind or assume that the hit you know you made was in the exact spot that you were trying to aim at. I love Paul’s videos because there are so many things that we do and sometimes take for granted but then you hear of stories like this one, that Paul told in this video, and you then realize that even a firearms expert will sometimes do something that was a very valuable lesson learned by him or her. And when those people then tell those stories, it’s good to hear about what happened, why it happened, and what can be learned from it.

While I have been doing this stuff for almost 60 years (yes I’m old) I still enjoy and pick up a few things here and there. Thanks for all the time and effort and great presentations. Now I gotta go and buy a 38 super.

Entertaining and educational as usual. Great video Paul. Love your choices. Being in the UK I am not allowed to shoot those hand guns any more, however when I did I always preferred the feel of a revolver. 2 of my favourites where a Ruger Blackhawk in 45lc and Freedom Arms Casull .454. I used to get almost as much enjoyment just handling and cleaning my firearms as I did from shooting.
