The weather changed here in north central Idaho. It's been snowy and frosty for the past week with a little bit of rut activity. It really warmed up (above freezing) last night and the bucks are rutting hard this morning. This is the first animal to fall to my Huntington .500 JRH. Got it back in Sept. with a longer octagon barrel, Bisley grip frame & grip wood and a lovely trigger. I took it elk hunting a few weeks ago but couldn't get close enough to a bull. I took this whitetail this morning @ 62 yards. The 440 grain @ 1350 fps was a little overkill.  2021 Buck .500 JRH by WARDOG, on Flickr |

EXCELLENT!
Handgun hunting is to be appreciated & enjoyed. Looks like you were able to do both.

Looks like it painted the hill on it's way down.
Those grip stocks are out of this world - really amazing wood and they laid out so nicely.
I hope your winter goes well.

Short of artillery, think no such thing as overkill. Core'em like an apple, ok. Would like to see the "Blood on the Blade". Please. Congrats !

Awesome gun and great buck! Really like the Diamond D! It carries my 500 very well.

Overkill is under rated! If that deer had been bedded down in a concrete bunker, you would have been ready for the shot!

What sort of a red dot mount do you have on that revolver?
