Taurus Judge & deer hunting

[Hookeye]

I'm going to go ahead and argue this last point. I don't think the.410 is ever appropriate for deer! The projectiles are not designed to penetrate! Even the self defense rounds are not solid enough to punch to the vitals of a deer. Hand-in-hand with too soft I'd too little energy/speed. A big, soft 12 ga slug can mash it's way thru, but The .410 will burn up all it's energy in the shoulder and not kill the poor thing before It runs off the property.

Then don't shoot them in the shoulder. I know of some kids who double lunged their deer, under 50 yards, with .410 and recovered nice animals after normal length bloodtrails. One shot kills too.

Seems to work OK in controlled situations.

I bet their parents had them pass on shots bigger stuff could handle (angle, distance).
