Well you gotta admit that he got us all excited calling BS, full of it, etc. I like mitchellmointain's ending better than the original.

KC,
Must have blocked the "can't feel the bullet nerve" on the first shot. Sure glad he found it dead on it's feet. My problem is how did the Elk walk from the pasture to the tree line and continue to stand?
Too bad no one had a camera.
Just saw a news report regarding the border incident and recent shooting. Seems as though bean bags were ordered used until our agents run out and then deadly force can be employed. They were being shot at and the illegals were not using bean bags. Is anyone surprised?

Somehow, just calling BS is an order of magnitude weaker than what should be done. By the time I got to the end, I was expecting to find that the bull elk s**t gold, too.

I personally don't believe that story like it was written: Now what was that girl shooting out of that 7mm-08 paper clips?
Also was she even hitting the elk period with her shots? I see nothing that would cause a 140, 150, 162 or 175 grain .284 diameter bullet from killing any elk if placed into the vitals at 2000fps or upward velocity, especially under 150 yards.
My guess is that rifle she was shooting was not zeroed in and she missed the whole frigging animal several times. I man I hunted with back in 2000 did the same thing with a .300 mag Browning Bar........His excitement had him looking over the scope!

Montana elk are tamer than Washington elk, is all I can say.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

Well why would anyone believe such an obvious lie about the 7mm08. But I'm sure it could happen with the .270, but never with something in a 7mm.

No, according to the "expert" all holes were accounted for during skining.

Could the author be Elmer Keith come back to life?
Didn't ol' Elmer spin a similar tale of a sheep that took umpteen shots from a measly 270 and trotted off with nary a flinch?

Well, I finally logged onto the blog-spot and cruised it a little. The home-page title for the site is "BIG SKY ELK HUNTING, OUTDOORS AND SOME HUMOR."
After reading some of the author's other blogs on elk cartridges, I now believe that the 7mm-08 blog was supposed to fall under the "SOME HUMOR" heading, perhaps to catch the unsuspecting.
If so (and I suspect that's the case) then it did, starting with Jeff O, and followed by a bunch of the rest of us.

My worst elk hunting nightmare was using a 708

Kinda like looking through your old posts?
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I noticed on his blog that this guy lives about 20 miles from my home town and I guess "guides" back in the Bob Marshall Wilderness where my family makes pack trips for elk also. That herd of elk gets soo much pressure from countless outfitters and their clients plus all the wolves that have moved in and god knows how many private party hunters that go back there. I highly doubt that those two bulls stood there while she shot almost a whole box of ammo. Maybe he's outfitting on the Sun River  I call... ![[Linked Image]](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ob6h5KNDmsI/TDE_HMC8VQI/AAAAAAAAADU/V_3dilJ6qzw/s1600/unbranded-bullshit-stamp.jpg)

Wasn't it Boddington's daughter who took an Elk with a 7mm08 ?
Bell killed "hefelumps" with a 7x57, but an Elk can't be killed by a 7mm08 ?
Yup, that makes perfect sense !
