The concerns of handgun hunting:
Does your game-law-compliant gun and load have the power to kill big game humanley?
Are you man enough to take the punishment such a relatively small/light handgun and load/caliber of such necessary power may dish out? A rifle, as big, hand-filling and heavy as they are compared with pistols, can even be punishing to shoot at times. How good a pistol shot are you? How good of a stalking hunter are you? There is the challenge of being a skilled pistol marksman and the challenge of butching up to take whatever nasty kick and blast the weapon and load dishes out. Many police officers can't even handle .357 revolvers and precious few can handle .44 Magnums.
Who says you have to get especially close with a handgun?
He must be one Rambo of a man. A heap more man than me. I can't even claim such butch-ness for myself.I'll ask my friend who hunts black bear with a
44mag, and get back to you....

I could fire a rifle chambered in the mighty .300 Savage at a bear and think myself a hero.
You really don't have the first clue about any of this do you?
I really don't like discourage people from having guns, or getting guns, but you really might be that rare exception to my thoughts about that.
Dude, my wife shoots a S&W Trail Boss like a Boss. .44 magnum is a pussycat round in the world of big magnums.I personally know nothing about bear hunting and have no interest in doing it myself. I was just being honest when I said I didn't want to endure the torture of a .44 Magnum.

Many of your comments show that you don't have the first clue about what you are discussing. I shoot a 44 Magnum quite a bit. As in lots. Trust me, I'm not a big guy by any standards, and have broken both wrists several times in the past.
Also your comment about the 357 Magnum. Where did you come up with that nonsense? Utter garbage. Both my nieces and my wife routinely shoot our 357 Magnum revolvers and don't have any problems with recoil. How would like to line up against my 17 year old niece with one? I'd put money on the fact I'll bet she can out shoot you!
Isn't there a knitting class you could join instead?
I did fire a .357 once at a range back in 1988 in a large-frame Ruger (GP something??) with 6" barrel. The key word is large frame gun. Not any worse kicking as any of my .45 Govt. Models but those were punishing to shoot with my elbows resting on a bench. A .44 Mag might not be too bad in a BIG HEAVY boat-anchor-weight revolver. None of those chamberings would I dare try in any fanny-pack concealed-carry gun.
I get my magnum handgun notions from this wise old gentleman, a former police captain and a former NRA firearms instructor for a police department... he is/was also an armorer for Ruger... please start video at time mark 23:00 and listen:
Moan back and bo-rus s'more...I ain't had this much fun since the hogs ate baby brother...

Texas big-game (whitetails/muleys/axis/cougar/bear) are certainly great targets for any future Savage 99 I might acquire. Can't go wrong w/ .300 Savage.I am interested on his take of big game in Texas though!

This is NOT someone to take advice from. Very narrow minded know it all.

Go ahead and kill a bear in Texas. Let us know how that works out for you.Texas big-game (whitetails/muleys/axis/cougar/bear) are certainly great targets for any future Savage 99 I might acquire. Can't go wrong w/ .300 Savage.
