Beginner's Guide to Big Game Handgun Hunting If you desire to hunt with a handgun, without doubt, you need to do your homework. Many hunters who carry a
rifle are not comfortable shooting with a handgun. Indeed, there are many reasons why one should hunt with a rifle
but once mastered, a change of venue may be just what you are looking for. That's not to say hunting with a rifle
is a cakewalk, it can be very challenging and in the favor of the game sought. When you pick up a handgun and
decide to hunt big game, the bar is placed even higher.

New State Record Alligator for Georgia I tell ya'll it was the fight of the century. We had been hunting since right after dark. Saw less than a dozen Gators. Most of them were this year's model or last year's. Nothing legal at all. Spotted 2 at about 500 yards that appeared to be legal so we start easing up on them and they just dropped on us. Very skittish. I forgot my rod with 100 lb test line and a 12/0 treble hook, so we let them stay where they were and went on looking.
