Well the first thing is to find an elk to shoot! Then get close enough for a decent shot- hunting seasons are a lot shorter than they use to be! As far as the 35 Remington goes, yea it will do, all you have to do is just find one, get close enough in the time you have to hunt!

"Any idiot can face a crisis,it's the day-to-day living that wears you out."

Anton Chekhov
