I wish we could handgun hunt deer in Massachusetts. Since 1910 the state has been shotgun only for firearms deer season. Today’s technology has put out shotguns capable of taking deer at 200 yards . Inline muzzleloaders as well. But no handguns for deer. My in-line mimics the ballistics of my Super 16 in 4570 . Believe it or not, I can lawfully hunt small game and varmints with it but not deer or even black bear ( revolver only) .
