Mark Hampton's Latest Adventure-Western U.S.

I'm posting these photos for our friend Mark Hampton. I'll let him fill us in on all of the details.





Incredible trophies Mark, congrats!

Nice. Can't wait to hear the stories. Way to go Mark!

Many thanks to Darrell for posting photos. Just returned from Wyoming on a late season antelope hunt. Got lucky and took this buck with an MOA in 260 Rem. at 305 yards. Before that hunt I was in Oregon for Columbia whitetail. This unique sub-species can only be found in a couple of regions of Oregon. In northern California I hunted Columbia blacktail and Roosevelt elk. The blacktail was taken on the first morning thanks to ideal weather conditions. I shot the Roosevelt elk with an H-S Precision in .270 WSM using 140 gr. Nosler AB. All hunts were well-organized by Wade Derby of Cross Hair Consulting. The Pacific northwest was a great experience.

Congratulations on your trophies Mark. Thanks for your trust and Darrell thank you as well. Enjoy!

Great trophies Mark!

That might be the biggest Columbia whitetail I've ever seen? Tthat's got to be a record book animal - he's a monster.

WOW!!! I've never seen anything CLOSE to ANY of those during my days afield!

Very impressive to say the least!

Congrats on the successful hunts,Mark. Thanks to Darrell for posting the pics.

Good going Mark!

Those mtns in the antelope pic look very familiar...........were you south of Cody?

Very nice animals. Congrats on successful hunts.

Congrats on a successful 'western swing'!

Very nice, Mark. Congrats!

Thanks for the kind words.

Congratulations on the successful hunt. I must say that your book is what got me interested in handgun hunting. I had owned a hard copy version of your book that was burned in a house fire. I was able to locate a soft copy locally. I don't know how many times I have read it cover to cover. Thank you

Good job Mark.

Nice going, Mark.

Congrats, Mark. Those are some beautiful trophies!

Very nice animals. All look like great rewards for the hunts

Great job!

Congrats mark

I thank all of you for your kind words. Hope each of you have a fun, safe, and successful hunting season.

Hello Mark,
Do the fish gill brakes really help? My 45-70's are beating me up. Congratulations, wonderful trophies!!!!

Hi Alcorn, Glad to see you are well. Yes, the side-discharge brakes help considerably. All of my big game hunting single-shots wear them. Hope you continue to have a great season.

Thanks, our Mississippi deer season opens soon. I have 1 whitetail in the record book. Maybe another this year.
