I got a few questions answered here on the forum before my first deer hunt with my Colt Python and I appreciate the advise on ammo selection. I got a great video of taking a "spike" during the doe and spike season here in Texas. The hunt did not turn out exactly as I planned but it actually made for a great video. Can anyone help host a video on this forum. I can email the video to you.

Thanks if you can host the vids. Between the 2 videos they are 9-10mgs. I emailed them to you.

I had watched deer all season come out of the cedars behind my feeder so I sat up behind a brush pile about 25 yards from the feeder. I had my son Justin in the tower blind with the camera focused at the feeder with me in between. I had been setting in my folding chair for about an hour being very still when I heard a "snort" and a "stomp" come from directly behind me. I had not expected anything to come in from behind me but there I was with absolutely no cover at all. I sat there for a minute trying to decide what to do and finally decided to very slowly turn around in my chair to see what was behind me. When I did, I saw 4 pointer and a spike. We have one week at the end of deer season in Texas when you can take a spike or doe, so the spike was what I was looking for. When I turned around they began to trot off. As luck would have it that day, my feeder went off at that very moment and it was more than the spike could take. He stopped, turned around and began circleling around me to get to the feeder. I turned in my chair and found a spot for a shot as he cleared a brush pile, and took a two hand hold. He stepped out from the brush and I squeezed one off. The trigger on my Python is the best I have ever shot. It goes off without any real effort.
The deer squatted down and I knew I had made the shot. The deer ran about 60 yards right towards my camera man and crashed right beside my tower blind. The Buffulo Bore 170gr ammo was awesome.

I am pistol hunter from here on. What a rush.

Way to go, Jim! Good video, too. Handgun hunting is addicting. It makes you want to keep your rifles for only if China attacks.
