Thanks men - and thanks for posting Darrell! Took this Altai wapiti (Asian version of our elk) with an H-S 270 WSM from 200 yards. Got lucky and took a Siberian roe deer afterward. Great hunt in a wonderful land.

This is just a question that has come to my mind.
Why dont you, or have you ever published any photos of game you have taken with revolvers? If you have please forgive me on my senior moment. But, where are they that I might see them? If you havent remember there are those that hunt with revolvers.

webber, I have taken a considerable amount of game with revolvers during the last 40 years - and have published them in various publications. I hunt with a variety of handguns - and like them all. I am not emotionally attached to any particular type - I shoot them all. As a human, I do have preferences and try to match the right tool for the specific task at hand. We live in a great country with the freedom of choosing to shoot many different types of firearms. Shoot and enjoy whatever trips your trigger.

Mark, congrats again, and to those who wonder if mark has and does use revolvers refer to his cape buff and elephant hunt. Used a 500 smith i believe. Matk i was lucky enough to spend 2 weeks this summer hunting with your ph for that hun.. He recounted the event in detail and i got to meet the guy that was hanging From the tusks by his gun belt. Exciting times!!!
