Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting What rifle did you set foot with on your rookie elk hunt?

So what did you carry on your first elk hunt?
--A Savage 99E in .308 Winchester. I didn't hunt elk until I was 28 years old.

Family heirloom? hand-me-down? something spankin' new? your deer gun? loaner from a mentor?
--It was my deer gun.

If you can remember what bullet please identify.
--Federal Premium 165 gr Sierra Boattail was what I shot my first one with. I also used Winchester Power Points on one.
