Don't go with a full magazine. DNR says "Deer may not be hunted with a firearm that is loaded with more than eight cartridges or shells. Magazines do not have to be physically blocked."

The mid-size .50 Beo mag is 7 rounds..the small one is 4. Them some big buwetts.. I have a couple 10-round mags, which are the largest they make for the .50 Beo, and they are roughly same size as the standard 30-round 5.56 magazine. I'll be hunting with the 4-round mag. In all the years I've hunted deer I've never gotten the chance to take a "second shot" if the first one missed...
Would have been nice if they'd allowed rifles back when I did hunt.
My pick would have been my .357 Marlin.
Good Luck with the .50.
We've got quite the little "herd" building up right here on my property.
With the .50 Beo a well placed shot should kill and gut the deer all at once.

... and butcher, wrap and stack?

Believe it or not..the .50 Beo muzzle velocity and impact energy are less than some of the better 12-ga sabot rounds that are of similar weight.

Yep. I was just comparing a couple of my .45-70 brands and my Hornady SST 12ga. slugs have considerably more velocity and energy. Compared both the 300gr and 405gr 45-70. The SST's are 300 gr.
I have to watch my overall weight in the RV. I just have 3-4 boxes 30-30 rounds. 2 boxes of shotgun slugs. 3 boxes of assorted sizes of shotgun bird shot. 8 boxes of .40 and around 1,000 rounds of .22. 1 of these days I'm going to go deer hunting while on the road. Texas is probably the best bet. Now I just need to find a place to sit for a few hours in the woods next time I'm down there.

Very good,
I will add this, if you are on the road and you have problems finding what you need PM me with your needs and a shipping address and I will gladly take care of it. Speaking of slugs, one of the Walmarts tht I bought a few rifles in had 12 ga Lightfield slugs discounted for 5 bucks a box. I have 20 5rd boxes of those also if you shoot 12ga...

Glad I bought 1,000 each for the .22 and 9mm when FBS got those in a while back. Been too busy to deplete them much.
Sneakers. go ahead and get yourself a .22, lots of fun. That was my first one was a Ruger 10/22 takedown. I think $250 bucks, maybe $300, disassembles in literally a second or so, stores in it's nice nylon case. If you've not shot before instruction isnt that expensive and there's great instructors around.
