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.

Mountain Lion on Fire No Black Hills mountain lion hunt was more bizarre than the mountain lion that caught fire. David Gray's first lion hunt ended not only with a lion, but also with an unusual story. Gray, a retired South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Conservation Office is an avid hunter and has hunted most areas of the Black Hills. He is probably one of the most knowledgeable persons of game animals in the Black Hills. In preparing for his mountain lion hunt, Gray set up a blind in a brushy thicket a few miles north of Custer State Park.
