However, by the end of World War II wild game was becoming too tough for the .357 Magnum. Elk and moose were becoming impervious even to perfectly placed .357" bullets. (Today, of course, we all know that even the smallest deer have become completely immune to .357 Magnum bullets.) Experiments to again redress the balance of killing power were underway in earnest by 1950 and in 1956 the result, the .44 Remington Magnum, was born.

Pat them on the head while they are eating the greens in your garden, feel how fat they are and pop them behind the ear with a .22. Oh yes, that is not legal. Yell at them to get them to run out a bit and then shoot them with a 357.

This is one of the reasons I haven't been hunting in many years. Grew up in Colorado where you had to go find the deer and you didn't always fill your tag. Got stationed in Louisiana for a few years where they sit in a tree stand and have dogs to run the deer to them. That will get you arrested in Colorado. Went overseas for a while. Came back and ended up in Texas where you rent a deer lease, set up an automatic feeder to fatten 'em up and make sure they get used to walking right in front of your blind about the same time every day...basically ranching deer in my book. Nothing wrong with ranching...but it ain't hunting.
I may hunt again if I ever move to where it's really hunting and not just harvesting.
