2nd day of Indiana firearms season
This is my biggest buck to date. He rough scored 154". The one brow tine is 11 2/8 long! I shot him with a TC Contender in 30-30 caliber at 95 yrds. I belly crawled 75 yrds to get tothe edge of a picked corn field in knee high wet weeds to get within 200 yrds of him. He was following a doe that was in heat. There were two other smaller bucks that were 75 yrds in front of me. To make a long story short, He tried to run the two smaller bucks off. When he did this he stopped broadside at 95 yrds. I had a good steady rest and took the shot and dropped him in his tracks. Last year in this same field within one hundred yards of the shot,my son shot his first buck, an 8 pt that scored 140 2/8 pts. I kind of like this field!

RE: 2nd day of Indiana firearms season
Handguns, other than muzzleloading, must have a barrel at least four inches long and must fire a bullet of .243-inch diameter or larger. The handgun cartridge case, without the bullet, must be at least 1.16 inches long. Full metal-jacketed bullets are not permitted. Handguns are not permitted on any military areas. Some types of handgun cartridges legal for deer hunting include 357 Magnum, 41 Magnum, 44 Magnum, 44 Special, 45 Colt, 45 Long Colt, 45 Winche-ster Magnum, 35 Remington and 357 Herrett.
Rifles with pistol cartridges that fire a bullet of .357-inch diameter or larger; have a minimum case length of 1.16 inches; and have a maximum case length of 1.625 inches are legal to use only during the deer firearms season. Some cartridges legal for deer hunting include the 357 Magnum, 38-40 Winchester, 41 Magnum, 41 Special, 44 Magnum, 44 Special, 44-40 Winchester, 45 Colt, 454 Casull, 475 Linebaugh, 480 Ruger, 50 Action Express, and 500 S&W.
