Well, I guess since my handi hasn't arrived yet, my current "brush gun" is my Ruger Super Redhawk 44 mag loaded with 240gr truncated soft points.
I also carry my Savage 110 in a 7mm mag, loaded with factory 150gr balistic silvertips,for those 300 yard across the field shots since I hunt just off the Pomme de Terre river  just south of Truman Lake in Missouri.

Topper deluxe slug 12ga. Black stock and nickle reciever like tthe toppers but a barrel like the trackers that is factory ported. cames with a recoil pad as well. I cant see more than 50 yards any where in my woods. and it has taken two deer so far.

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun

how about just a good old M60!!!!! that way you can cut down the brush first this blow the living crap out of the deer!!!!!!


sorry but the brush gun debate gets old with me real quick.


my take is get a good gun and pick a hole , and if you blow the living crap out of a deer you wont need any blood to track caz you already have the deer.

On Saturday morning a fine 10 point was walking broadside at 40 yards.
I was shooting Huntsman, .50, 295 flat nosed Powerbelt. As I got on the deer, and tracked him through the scope, I apparently fired through light brush. (I went back and checked). I missed the deer to my astonishment.
Fortuately, he started to scrape and lick a branch, oblivious to the sound of my shot. In the open I loaded another charge, and killed him at the same distance... Lucky for me! My longstanding belief is confirmed to me.
There ain't no such thing as a good "brush gun"! You gotta find windows!
