Way to go James! Getting some respect for handgunners from the rifle crowd. Did you use a rest for the 80 yard shot?

Great hunt, James! Thanks for sharing.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

James,, Way to go!!! I like the Herrett stocks on the Snake charming 29... Nice to have some shot loads handy sometimes. and that 41 is gaining on the 454 in Kills isn't it? Congrats on a good looking deer.

I am glad your western excursion went so well. Thanks for taking on the challenge of western big game with a revolver, and sharing the results with us.
Congratulations on a beautiful deer.
