I shoot and enjoy both SS and revolvers for hunting.
I like the handling qualities and portability of a revolver, and I get a bigger rush when I take a game animal with one......... But I will grab a SS in a NY minute if the job calls for it.

I have both...and use both. In fact, I harvested two deer in one day during the last season. The kills were about five minutes apart using a XP-100 for the first and a RSBH Hunter for the second.
Had I been armed with just a revolver the first shot would not have been possible within my comfort zone...it was around 150yds. The XP .300 Savage dropped it. Several minutes later I dropped the second deer at 30-ish yards with the revolver.

As far as I am concerned, when you can get good with a revolver a bolt or singleshot becomes a whole another ball game. My children will probably start out shooting 22LR out of a revolver for their first handgun. When it is time, they will move up to a 7 ½ SBH 4 Mag for deer and pig hunting. But that is JMHO…
