I've hunted elk since bout 1965 and have taken 45 so far. My last one was a 6x5 the one before a 7x7 (scored 356 ). Most of my elk have been smallish 6pointers or 5 point raghorns and a few cows throwed in. I hunt mostly on private land open to anyone for the askin. Use horses a lot to get further back, and once I find 'em, I never give up. Have used everything from a 6mm Rem to a .45-70. Like the .308 or the .30-06 best. I shot my 356 with a 7x57 Mauser. That being said I'd much rather hunt big muley bucks.
