What was the story? Elmer Keith 400 yard 44 mag elk???

[Hornseeker]

I am trying to find where I read that? Didn't he claim to shoot some 400 yard elk with a 44 mag... and drop it???

Thanks

Nope it was a mule deer and the story is in Sixguns by Keith.

I was going to say that if it has anything to do with Elmer Keith, Glenn GTR would know.

According to his book it was a Mule deer at 600 yards. Appearently the hunter he was guiding had wounded it.

[GlennGTR]

That is right it was sixhundred yards.

That's a dandy shot

Mule deer at 600...DAMMM! SO... I assume that was his little iron sighted blackhawk or similar single action?

it was actually a 6" smith and wesson

I believe the story is also told in his autobiography hell I was there. I also have it told in a magazine article that was reprinted a few years back.
