They are, Sitka Blacktail are a much smaller species than our Midwestern Whitetail. Their mature Antler size is also smaller in comparison.

Anyway, looking forward to slinging some thru this weekend in southern MO.

Glad you found something you liked.

We have a bunch of fresh snow and it feels like it's 15* out... I'm headed to a stand as soon as I find something to eat.

My weather app has to be wrong, it feels a hell of a lot warmer than 15* out here.

Need a little gun help. I want to add to my gun collection, I want a semi-automatic pistol. I would like to be able to hunt deer with it (I like to purchase guns that are beautiful and functional). I want to spend $500-$700. I already own a .44 mag pistol (TC break down single shot) that I hunt with, but would like some kind of semi-auto pistol. For the record, I'm a big fan of Remington weapons, mostly because I think they're well made and their high gloss walnut stocks are beautiful. Is it legal to hunt with a .45? Any suggestions?

You will have to look into your state regulations about hunting with a pistol. It's perfectly legal to hunt with a .45 Auto here so long as you have your pistol stamp.

Distance is the only limitation with a .45 ACP IMO. Think bow ranges. Unless you're a marksman, you shoot autos in feet not yards.

Also, just a guess but from your brief summary I'd think you're going to have to stay in the upper range or go above your price point.

I live in CA but only hunt in MO. Yes, I figure anything I kill will need to be close range. Do you have any suggestions on a gun? I know Remington makes a .45 semi-auto with a walnut grip (mid $700 range). Anyone know anything about Remington pistols?

For a lil more money you can get into the Desert Eagle its a 100 yard hand gun. I know a few guys that hunt deer with the vaunted Ruger Old army 44 black powder to. Its the holly-grail of blackpowder revolvers & will knock a deer on its ass

I already have a black powder revolver. I'll google the Desert Eagle.

Far & away the most accurate at distance, hand gun I have ever shot. It was 357. But they come in 44 & 50 & I think they come factory ready for a pistol scope.

Very excited about this. I'm a weirdo for open sites, but I might look in to getting a scope for this.

I don't have any experience with Remington pistols, but you can go to Bud's and read the reviews to get some idea. Sometimes there are some very thorough reviews on there.
