How to Hunt With a 357 Magnum Revolver

1). Research the hunting regulations for the game and area you plan to hunt. Many states have a minimum caliber and case size for big game species. According to the website Big Game Hunt, the .357 magnum is considered a small game caliber while guns such as the .45 and 9mm are considered more appropriate for big game hunting.
2). Scout the game and area you plan to hunt. Determine a hunting strategy that will place you close enough to the animal for an effective shot. For some species, that might be still hunting from a stand along a game path. The .357 magnum hunter might stalk other game using stealth to close to an appropriate range. You will need to be a better hunter to be successful with a .357 magnum.
3). Practice with the gun. Learn to effectively hit what you aim at. Target practice should also teach you your range limitations. If you can’t consistently hit where you aim at 50 yards you have no business firing at an animal at that range. The practice will also teach you how to handle the recoil of the gun. Practice should also teach the hunter to handle the gun safely and efficiently.
