before i get flamed...i hunt the archery season and the general rifle seasons....and given the chance i would hunt with a handgun too....i love to hunt, PERIOD...to me its about getting out as often as is legal and experiencing every opprotunity alberta has to offer.
Id love to sit my stand a few times a year with a single action .44 mag.....ill be damned if a 270wsm or 30-06 would kill a deer any better at a suitable distance.

I don't think many people realize that thier are pistols that are designed for the purpose of big game hunting and that there more than capable of a 250 yard shot with deadly accuracy if you do your part I wuold not hunt with a handgun personally but see nothing wrong with it. these type of handguns are not your home defence guns or cowboy 6 shooters. and guys that use this type of pistol are usualy awesome rifle shots so there maybe afew more animals for us rifle hunters if they are allowed to try with a pistol.
