What makes em jumpy. I have witnessed some strange things deer hunting. My son reminded me that if I had had a rifle the other day the deer most likely would have run. A man with a stick is a dangerous thing. I began to wonder if the deer was less intimidated because I was alone man in the tree line without a stick and smelled of earth. I say that because when bird hunting you can seemingly walk up on deer bedded deer and they just look at you when you are walking without a gun. Have a gun in your hand and they start running at 200 yards.
During the hunting season the mear presence of a slow moving pick up seems to drive the deer into shock. I watched as a pickup full of hunters slowed to a stop, opened the doors and watched a patch of grass in the middle of a cut corn field. The deer low crawled out the back side toward a tree line. and took off to parts unknown.

I realize that this America and everybody is entitled to there opinion, it gets a little tiresome hearing other people deciding what is a handgun and what is not. If a person wants to hunt with revolvers, thats good everybody has to know his limitations. I have hunted with singleshot handguns all my life, its good to know I wasn't hunting with a handgun all this time. I guess its too late to learn something new, BULLHOCKEY......

I would love to be allowed to hunt with a handgun! You guys in the US don't know how lucky you are.
We are only allowed to use handguns for target shooting and then you have hell's own problems getting a license. And after that you have to prove attendance at a certain number of shoots otherwise your license is pulled and your handgun/s confiscated. I handed mine in while they were offering to compensate you for them. Had to agree to not applying for a handgun license for 5 years though.
Oh well, I only have longarms now so that is what I use.
Cheers, Vince

I second Vince's post
The thing is in some places you cant hunt/own handguns as easily as long arms. Now Canada's laws for handguns arnt that bad as what Vince is discribing. I'm told and its pretty easy to get a license but your only allowed to use them in "Athorized" shooting ranges and you need to get a "Transport Athorization" to just move them from your house to the shooting range and back!
As for all of you in the US you know what makes something a handgun ?? If it was filed on the 4473 (I think thats what its called :?) form as a handgun
