Elk are not bulletproof BUT many hunters are lousy shots, can't stalk, don't know how to use camo or wind, are out of shape, most don't know wild Elk are "creatures of the night", can't shoot off improvised rests or from standard 4 positions.
If you can't get within 300 yards of an Elk and kill it with a 270, 308 or 30-06 using today's ammo, you don't belong afield.

A big boomer and a huge scope don't make up for the hunter's failings.

My new Elk stick that will get a 2.5-10x32 Nightforce in SK mounts next week.
