The .44 Spl. and The Scapegoat Mtn. Bull

Great story and well written. thanks for pulling up the old thread. Yes, this stuff never gets old and what a way to drink coffee and get going on a slow Sunday Morning. Making me want to think I still have the stamina left in this old bones to make another trip to the Rockies to chase the big Elk.
 
Dave, I enjoyed reading your story all over again, and love the S&W 27/.44 Special. Beautiful gun.

I have a number of .44 Special guns, but seeing yours made me want to go and caress this particular one. Its a 24-3, bought years ago because Skeeter thought it would be a good idea. It shoots straight, hits hard, carries well, is easier on the hand than a .44 mag, and just looks awful nice.

I haven't slain any bull elks with it, but it's chewed up many a tin can at impressive distances. Just knowing it's in my keep gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling, you know?

Keep the stories coming, my friend. You do have the knack.

John
