I've shot 33 elk.

On three different occasions, I shot bulls that were about 30 yards away. Two were running.

Longest was too far away for the range finder to get a fix on a good reflective object. I guessed that it was about 500 yards. I watched him casually grazing for about 15 minutes. It took that long to dope it out. Shot twice and hit him twice.

Most kills have been between 150 and 200 yards.

I live in Colorado where terrain is mountainous, usually heavily treed with some occasional meadows. I like hunting in aspen groves.

Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.
