I was in a stand - probably about 15 feet high. It was less than an hour after morning shooting time.

I used PMC Bronze 158 grain centerfire ammo. I really like having a handgun in the field - nice change after many years with a shotgun.

That is the one handgun I wish I never sold. They are built like tanks.

Congrats! I have never got one with my revolver yet, but I did manage to kill a buck in 2008 with my Contender at 150 yards, that was pretty cool but deafening.
