It’s December, and I recently stumbled across an excellent article written by Mladen Simovic back in September that I regret not seeing sooner. His vivid storytelling and dedication to handgun hunting deserve to be highlighted. If you’ve ever wondered how versatile an Ultradot sight can be, Mladen’s experiences will inspire you.
First handgun deer of 2024 – Handgun Hunting Afield
In his article, Mladen recounts his September adventures, choosing to hunt elk and mule deer in grizzly country with his trusty S&W PC 629 Stealth Hunter, equipped with our Ultradot 30mm Gen 2 sight. While the elk managed to elude him, Mladen described an unforgettable weekend in steep terrain, with a remarkable 12.5-mile trek and 5,500 feet of elevation gain. Although he didn’t bag a buck, his respect for the challenge of using a revolver-only setup shone through.
A week later, the urgency of a near-empty freezer drove him back into the field. This time, he hunted a whitetail doe in his “honey hole” using the same revolver setup. His detailed account of spotting, stalking, and ultimately harvesting a whitetail doe demonstrates not only his skill but also the reliability of his gear. The Cutting Edge Raptors, combined with the precision of the Ultradot sight, ensured a clean, humane harvest.
A True Handgun Hunter at Heart
Mladen’s story is particularly special because it ties back to his roots in Ohio and West Virginia, where Dr. Larry Rogers (aka WVHitman) introduced him to hunting and handgun hunting. His journey from those early days to today, relying on his revolver and Ultradot 30mm Gen 2, showcases how meaningful and personal hunting can be.
Ultradot: A Sight for Every Adventure
Stories like Mladen’s remind us why we do what we do. The Ultradot 30mm Gen 2 isn’t just a sight; it’s a tool that helps hunters tackle challenging environments with confidence. Whether it’s steep mountains, dense bedding areas, or split-second opportunities, Ultradot sights are designed to perform.
