Elk and Revolver

[remington jim]

have you got elk with a revolver?. I'd be interested to hear about it.

I think the real question we're all dying to ask and have answered is who has taken an elk with a slingshot?

Bare hands; no teeth!!!!

I have a Webley Mk1 in 455 and a RIC in 450 Adams and wouldn’t think of bear hunting with either. These are vastly underpowered for large game in my opinion.

The last thing I’d want is a pizzed off injured bear.

A 400 grain arrow with a 100-grain broadhead traveling at 250 ft/s the arrow would have a kinetic energy 69.5 ft/lbs.

44 Remington Magnum out of a pistol with 240 grains, velocity 1180 FPS, energy 741 ft lbs.

41 Long Colt 200 grain slug at 750 fps with 237 foot-pounds of muzzle energy.

44 Russian 246 grain, 750 ft/s, 310 ft⋅lb

The Jordan buck was taken with a .25-20, 86 grain, muzzle velocity of 1460 fps with muzzle energy of 407 ft. lbs.

Been thinking of using my Antique Handgun for Bear here in Ontario.

That would be a HUGE check mark off the bucket list.
Canadians go hunting in the USA with long guns, why not with revolvers ?
Seems a ligit question and even my tinfoil hat is loosening off just a touch.

That used to be relatively common. Not sure about how it would work now with all the latest leftard laws in place. - dan

I was in Texas for work and did a morning Wild Boar hunt with a coworker. We got two each with a borrowed firearm from the outfitter. Asked them what to use and they said a shotgun for where they were putting us. After the hunt I thought I should’ve used one of the pistols they had, my biggest hunting regret to date.

There was guy on that series "Alone" that took a Muskox with a knife - well, they cut/edited it to look like he did.
