Awesome, I enjoy your videos, at 73 I’m still deer hunting, and being successful too, all glory goes to my Lord and savior !
My dad at the young age of 79 shot a 157" whitetail last fall. Keep hunting until you can't squeeze a trigger!
@@chrismayer7762 As long as the Lord allows me to get out into His creation, I’ll keep hunting, started at the age of 11.
@@dalerash6285, amen brother! That’s awesome that you are still able to get out and enjoy His creation.
@@chrismayer7762, wow, that’s incredible! Tell him congrats on the great buck!
I love the 4 rings on the scope a little overkill but very cool anyway!!! My .460 smith wears 3 rings and it holds tight.
Well I feel privileged to be the first one to comment that is very memorable your dad's gun killed a nice one with your son in the woods filming something you'll never forget awesome put a smile on my face when I seen that smoke come out of that hole good deal bud
I'm 76 and still hunt fish hike and camp all praise and glory to God, Keep hunting
Gabe, thank you for another excellent deer hunting video. I always look forward to your hunts. Grace and peace.
Great hunt, nice shot!
Ruger Blackhawk is the only weapon I can hit anything with.
Nice to see you customized your fathers.
I really like the Blackhawks. I didn't realize it till I started hunting with this one a few years back.
A fine outfit. Even better that it has some family history. Well done.
Enjoyed your hunting video. Perfect shot👍 Cool to see with a handgun.
That was wonderful filming
He is getting really good at it. I’m very proud of him!
Good hunt! Awesome!
Congrats on the Christmas Doe! Handgun hunting is very addictive!! Please do more videos!
I totally agree! I love my handguns. I'm working on doing one with my .41 mag Redhawk before the season closes.
Yep that was a perfect shine my friend 👍
Well done Gabe ! Congrats
Thanks Dave. Hope you had a good year hunting.
Congratulations on a great deer and hunt.
Congrats Gabe! Great Film job by the young man as well!!!
He's gonna take my job someday! LOL
Great hunt brother. I loved the gear you used. We in the North, can’t even take a hand gun to the fields. It’s for range only. Slugs are the only way to hunt white tail here. Happy hunting everyone. Can’t wait for the end of the month as season opens up . 🥂
Good stuff once again
I just found out how Michigan allows handgun hunting, now this video makes me need (not want) a .44 mag revolver to hunt with 😂
WWOW!! that chest rig is AMAAZING
Doc Barranti does very good work! I love it.
And marry Christmas this year my brother and the same to the family.
Why did you keep a empty chamber under the hammer?
Old habit with a S&W. I know it doesn’t matter with a Ruger. 🤷🏻♂️
Congratulations!!!
I really enjoy your videos Gabe especially your trad hunts. Don’t know if you ever shot the hornady xtp in 300gr. but they group much better out of my super red hawk with 9.5” barrel then the 225 flex tips. Have a great new year! Bob
Thanks Robert. I've shot quite a few different loads out of my .44's and while the heavier bullets shoot great, the 225's shoot just as good and we shoot them out of my kid's little rifle. So, I buy boxes of one load to simplify things. That and I've shot a lot of deer with them and haven't had any complaints. I'm hoping to take a deer with my .41mag with 250gr castcores before the season is done.
You shot that deer just time Gabe. She had you spotted but it was too late! I got a nice one tonight with my kids up in missaukee county. Nothing better than putting some good ol' venison in the freezer. Keep these awesome videos coming.
What you couldn’t see was the deer behind us. She looked like she was looking at us but there were deer up the hill behind us and I think she was looking at them. Congrats on the Missaukee doe! We weren’t far away from ya.
Congrats on the hunt, got to love a Michigan hunt. Due to covid I wasn't able to hunt this year
Great job filming Reed!
He's getting good at it!
What kind of wait time is there on ordering one of those slick holsters? Also a video going over some of your pistol hunting tips would be great!!!! I picked a 7 and half inch Super Redhawk .44 mag. No luck with it this season but watching all your videos sure started the spark to try. Yes I hope you come out with a tips video. Love what your doing keep it up.
I'm sure the wait time varies on the chest rigs. I'd give "Doc" Barranti a call or shoot him an email at Barranti Leather. He's a great guy and will help you out. Tell him you saw mine.
That's a good idea on handgun hunting tips. I'll see what I can do. First tip, don't get cold or drink too much caffeine! It gets tough to hold the gun steady. LOL.
Great shot!! Happy hunting
Great video!
I love my cva .44 mag it does the job.
Can't believe your scope didn't fall off!
😂
Nice work!
I'm thinking about getting Ruger Black Hawk revolver chambered 41 magnum with a 6.5" barrel and red dot mount
I’ve got a Ruger Super Redhawk in .41 and it’s an excellent gun. The .41 is a great choice for whitetails.
put that shoulder rig inside your coat that's how i wear mine protects the pistol from the weather and keeps the pistol warm which is better on the hands. great videos and hunting !!
Thanks for the recommendations. On cold days I will sometimes wear it inside but only when the weather sucks or it’s bitter cold. I’d rather have it outside where it’s more readily available and I’m not loosing vital body heat by opening up my jacket when a deer is coming in and getting cold shakes. We’ve also got pretty skittish deer by this time in the season so I don’t want any unnecessary movement or noise. That’s the reason I keep it out 95% of the time.
I figured you had your reasons I love handgun hunting I miss hunting the northeast !!
Wow with all those scope rings it should hold zero! Lol great video
If it doesn’t, I can’t blame the rings! 😂
Great hunt!
Awesome video! I am a huge Ruger fan and a handgun hunter, as well. Not to be “that guy,” but I noticed at the end of the video that your support hand was forward of the cylinder when you fired. You were wearing gloves, but just please be careful doing that! There is a huge amount of pressure leaving the cylinder at the forcing cone and there are videos of what can happen if your hand is in the wrong position. Obviously you’re a skilled shooter but just thought I’d point it out in case you didn’t realize the danger! Stay safe and happy hunting!
Thanks. Yeah, I realize that. I would only do that with gloves on and supporting the frame in the right spot. We were in a awkward position in that treestand and didn’t have a rest high enough.
Gabe...nice job with the video. Glad you were successful. I will be hunting the alternative method season here in Missouri next week with a 44 mag Super Blackhawk with 7.5 inch barrel that came from my Dad. He got it from his uncle after he passed. It was made in 1976.
Question---I saw that you dropped the hammer on an empty chamber. I read up on the earlier problems with this model...but I thought it was corrected with the 'NEW MODEL" by installing a transfer bar. Is this not correct...or are you just being extra careful?
Just habit. I know it doesn’t really matter. If I shoot more than once, something probably went wrong anyway. Lol!
Oh and good luck with your dad’s gun! Hope ya make some good memories with it.
Great video! I have throughly enjoyed your handgun hunting videos as that’s a passion of mine. Tell me whose scope bracket you have mounted on the 44 here?
Thanks Greg. It’s a passion of mine too! The rings are SSK’s and I think the base is a Warne but I can’t remember. My dad installed that probably 20yrs ago.
Good job, camera man😊
Nice video. I just bought a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter 44. I’m trying to figure out what scope to put on it. Which Leupold do you have on that pistol and are you happy with the eye relief? Thanks in advance for your help.
I’ve got Leupolds on all my hunting handguns. I prefer the actual pistol scopes with the long relief. I like the 2x scope on the .44 because it’s lightweight and all I need to take shots out to 100yds or slightly more. I have a 2-4x on my Contender and it’s fine on that bigger gun but it is heavier.
@@FullQuiverOutdoors thanks, that’s helpful.
Nice hunt.
What holster is that. I want one
It’s a Barranti Leather. It’s a nicest holster I’ve used for hunting handguns. I love it!
I enjoy your videos. I want to see more videos hunting with 44 mag.
I’ve got a few more on my handgun hunting playlist. But I agree, I need more!
What scope mount is that? Beautiful pistol.
If I remember correctly they are Warne two piece rings. My dad bought the mount back in the 90’s. I don’t know what that is.
Nice shooting, out of curiosity what is the barrel length on that pistol, I’ve got a 7.5” version myself, but that looks like 9.5”?
Good spotting. Yes, it’s a 9.5”
Man, I love hunting in MI. I've lived in MI for 30 years and hunted every season (both bow/gun) and harvested deer every year. Last October, my family and I moved out of MI and now living in CA... where hunting is nothing in comparison to MI's hunting. Great video man... keep them coming!
Pack up and move back out here! Haha. Hope you can find some decent hunting out there.
Live in CA as well and after 3 years of trying I kinda gave up. Last time I went was 3 years ago.
Mr van wormer Did you and your family have venison for your Christmas dinner or did you plan on something else for dinner? Great shot and I will be subscribing great shot sir
Haha, good question. No, it was pretty cold so didn’t cut it up that night. We had to drive home so we just grabbed a pizza or something.
What scope is that? I have a 460xvr and looking for recommendations
It’s a 2x Leupold. I have the same scope on several handguns. Good scope!
@@FullQuiverOutdoors awesome. I’ll definitely check it out. New to handgun hunting so trying to figure it all out. I appreciate your input
Wat scope are u using I’m about to pick up a super black hawk hunter
That’s a Leupold 2x scope
Sickkkkkkkkk. Any trad tourneys this winter?
I'll probably shoot at the local indoor range from time to time this winter. I can't make it every week but I like to shoot as much as possible during winter months.
You don't wear ear plugs shooting a 44 mag handgun? I hope you know that even though the ringing might eventually stop the hearing damage done is permanent.
Why do you say I’m not wearing earplugs?
@@FullQuiverOutdoors Trying to communicate with someone while wearing ear plugs usually isn't possible when whispering at the low level you were using in the video. Typically you over estimate the level and end up talking louder than is needed, but you were modulating your whispering to such a low level it makes me think you weren't wearing plugs.
@@Prepare2Survive, I have electronic hearing protection, you can hear as good or better and it shuts off when you shoot to protect your ears.
@@FullQuiverOutdoors Yeah, that's what I use too, but they are in the form of ear muffs. What model are you using?
@@Prepare2Survive, Walkers Silencers
Very nice 👍💯💯💯
Who did you buy the holster from?
Barranti Leather. Doc makes some very nice holsters! Very happy with mine.
Where did you get holster?
It’s made by Barranti Leather. You buy them online. Link is in the description.
Curious what so many scope rings
Because there was extra base so adding one more filled it up and kinda adds a little bit of “coolness” because it’s different. You don’t really need the extra one. Just for looks mainly.
@@FullQuiverOutdoors ahhh gotcha
On the day this was published I shot a very nice doe
Congrats man!
You too nice doe man
Also mine was a Michigan deer too
Nice shot I’ve been looking for a 44 mag load for my 629 that’ll leave a good blood trail
I’ve had good success with the Hornadys myself. I think I’ve taken 10 or 11 deer with the 225gr FTX and haven’t lost one and had good blood trails. I’m happy with them. I’ve also found the all copper .44 ammo usually does an awesome job too. Barnes XPB’s are my favorite but hard to find around us and I don’t reload.
Let me get this straight, you just fired a very big revolver , and now your going to whisper?
Yup. If you’ve watched any of my other videos, you’ve no doubt seen us double up on deer after shooting with rifles and revolvers. We could see more deer coming in back in the bedding area. Deer don’t always all spook after a loud bang, especially when it echoes through the woods and they don’t know where it came from.
You walk no more than 50 ft
Why not headshoot for meat ? All the bells and whistles to kill like an amateur.
We don’t headshoot, period. It’s an unethical shot to take. I’ve seen several deer that were wounded in the face. They die slow, agonizing deaths. A shot through the lungs only messes up a tiny bit of rib meat on each side. Very little loss.
False profit. It is you who is the obvious amateur. You have no idea what your talking about.
@@garytrainer1690 so my hundreds of red fallow and rusa deer and thousans of kangaroos and hogs all instant kill hedshots shot over 48 years of both professional and recreational shooting and hunting is just good luck flukes then?
Some deer were taken with scoped Ruger Super Redhawk KSRH9 using the same Hornady 240 grain bullet, very impressive indeed, the only times I heart lung shoot anything is moving or trohy with 30-06 rifle
When you have got good gear and the practice then confidences to hadshoot follows, you ought to try it before you get cocky mouthing off, read about Karamjo Bell and his 7x57 Mauser you just might get it.
Have A Great Day 👍
@@FullQuiverOutdoors nice outfit just practice more and more and get confident, I'd like to see that headshooting video up on utube some day.
@@falseprofit4u, I personally do not believe it’s ethical to take the chance. I’ve put down enough animals with blown off jaws to see what happens if the animal moves slightly on your squeeze. I just won’t do it myself.
I’m very confident in my shooting ability and do a lot of head shooting when it comes to varmints, squirrels, etc. That’s not the issue. It’s just my opinion but I won’t do it on big game (except turkeys). Besides, videos like that wouldn’t survive on RUclips and give anti-hunters more material to help them take away more of our hunting opportunities.
From England again you know the best County in the world
I'm glad we are not gun crazy like the Americans
Thanks for continuing to watch my videos and not buying guns. Leaves them all to us crazy Americans to use to provide all natural good for our families.

ENGLAND AGAIN YOU SOUND SO ANGRY
😂 You’re the one writing in all CAPS. I’m about the most laid back guy you’d ever meet.
What is the deal with “England again”? Just curious.
England the BEST country in the world
Why England again real people with compassion keep being taken off
I have compassion. I didn’t want that doe to have to live out in the cold all winter long. So I brought her inside to spend it on the grill and in the oven.
