3 years of conversation with both the outfitter and ph.just curious if you are familiar with the smith 500 and do you hunt with a handgun?
Let's see, you're leaving in 5-days and your asking now?
Nothings going to change, im sure of getting the job done. I have the right gear and frame of mind.why is it every comment on this forum full of aragance have a bit of sarcasm. I was only asking about experiences and only if you have tried what I'm about to do.
Thank you
Believe it or not,my 500 is from the performance center at smith. It has a 10.5 inch barrel. Pleasant to shoot and we'll balanced. And yes, hearing protection is a mustI'm 6'1" and 190 lbs. I don't think I could hang onto one of those handguns. I could barely handle a .44 mag when given the opportunity ... once. I do own a 357 Highway Patrolman and shoot it very well. But hunting dangerous game with a revolver puking 400 gr bullets would require several wraps of Gorilla duct tape ... for me anyway. My hat's off to you since it appears you have already conquered the beast ... the handgun I mean.
Curious about barrel length. I presume you will be wearing hearing protection? Personally, I prefer to hear what's going on uninhibited when I'm hunting ... especially dangerous game.
No sarcasm intended. Just thinking out loud. This is a "different" undertaking for sure.
Good day sir, ive hunted Buffalo bull and cow with a hunter 2 years ago and he also used a 500 S&W hand gun, and it it performed great the main focus should be is that you are comfortable and your shot placement, in my opinion shot placement and penetration is key. At 50 yards you will smoke him and it always help if you could get a good follow up shot.
