I know it would greatly depend on terrain but do you think a 300 yard personal limit is too restrictive for general Elk hunting?
I may get a chance to go to Colorado soon. The place I'm going,I've been told that out of over 20 a friend of mine can remember, the longest shot was just over 200 yards.
It may even be a silly question but I'm trying to set up my rifle and scope combo.I'm wondering if you guys would feel OK if you set yourself a 300 to possibly 350 or so personal limit with your equipment.
When I went elk hunting I didn't give range any thought. I did take the first legal elk I found. It was ranged at an even 400 yards. I thought it was about 200 yards so it was good to range it. If you have a .270 or .30-06 or bigger magnum, you could sight in at what ever range keeps your trajectory at 3" or less out to 300 yards. This would give you a center hold clear out to 350 yards.
