Hunting 25 years harvesting 23 or so odd elk. Some private land, some public. Some came out in pieces some came out hole.

Farthest shot lazered at 305, with a 338 win. Closest 33 feet with a 338 win. 75% of elk killed with the 280 rem 25% with 338 win and one with a 300 win.

Generally first legal animal got whacked, rarely held out for something "bigger".

Assorted cows, spikes, biggest bull a 5x5 horn wize. Packed out 278 lbs. of boned-out meat from a different 5x5. I hunt first to fill the freezer then second for sport and thoroughly enjoy doing both.

Did not kill one last season, breaking a 17 year kill run.

Looking forward to killing one with the new 7mm rem mag this fall grin

Elk hunting, its the best.
