Yeah, shooting a deer in the brain at close range with a high powered rifle is messy....... though I try to kill them with the first shot..... I'm hunting with kids now though, and the last two deer that Eldest shot did not die before we got to them.

Aside from that, I want something I can get to and use if I get suprised by a mountain lion...... A scoped boltie or a 12 guage is pretty useless if the cat is already on you.

Greybeard:
I never go out hunting without my .357 strapped to my hip. There are times when a rifle just isn't what is needed.

Fly, unless I'm reading less into what your saying, you have limited if any hunting experience.  If this is true, the most essential "item" you will need is a good hunter education course.  Just like firearms, the more training you have prior to entering the field, the more enjoyable the experience will be... Good Hunting...
