Last year was my first time out with a hand gun. Left the rifle at camp half the time and ended up seeing more nice buck than ever before. They musta sensed that I was a neophyte with a revolver. Finally ended up getting a doe on the second week with my model 27. This year I've acquired a nice 6" 657 and have found it to be a fine shooting partner. Using 210 grain hard cast SWC, it makes me look good at the range. Offhand, at 25 yards, I can put 6 for 6 into a 6 in circle every time. It's going out with me next week and I'm looking forward to the hunt!

I gave up hunting a few years ago due to health and laziness issues. I hunted with a blued 6.5" M29-2 for a good number of years. I went to a Dan Wesson SS .44 mag with an 8" vent rib barrel. I had a Tasco pistol scope with a lighted recticle mounted with a SS base that clamped to the vent rib barrel. It was very accurate and I took a few deer with it using various 240gr JHP as well as my handloads with 240gr SWC using Unique at about 1200 FPS out of the 8" barrel. I saw some .357 loads fail to make clean kills and never felt comfortable with .357 for deer hunting. I would also consider a good .45 Colt like the Ruger Blackhawk/Redhawk with some proper factory or handloads. The recoil is not bad and it is effective. I also tried a .454 Super Redhawk but didn't use it but one season.
