Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Elk and the .223.Why not?

LOL

.


Sorry but it is too much fun poking the guys who can't imagine an elk could actually be killed with anything but a mega magnum.

I mean an elk is simply a magic creature that actually knows what it has been shot with. Wrecked hearts and lungs are not the point, it will not die until a minimum cartridge has been used.

Magic is cool.

I used to be in the camp that thought a 30-06 was marginal for elk... and used a 300 Win Mag on everything, including Coues. After a few years of THAT, I've seen a 223 and various 260s flatten more critters, and flatten them faster faster, than I ever saw with that 300.

I guess I'm just a quick learner and obviously of above average anti-wizardry skills. Like a [bleep] ninja or something.

A goat [bleep], however, I will never be... LOL.

More fun poking fun at those who can't handle more than a .223.

This whole thing is still going nowhere. By the way, I killed a bull last year with a 375 H&H, and the rifle kill before that with a 340 Wby.

I wish I was tough enough to shoot a "real" gun, like a 30-30. Unfortunately my frail little bones break under the recoil of anything more than a 223. I should probably just give up hunting all together, since I don't hunt with a 30 caliber anything.

I know that when women see a "real man" packing a Uber Extreme Magnum their panties automatically drop from the sheer manliness exuded by said hunter. Any elk hunter not packing a big gun just as well turn in his man card, as well as his balls.

Laffin....

Ive been shooting the vastly more powerful .223AI...

Does that get me inclusion in the " Real Man" column...?


On second thought, if you are in that column, I'd just as soon stay out....

See what I mean? Three fast posts with their panties in a knot.

laffin 2.

I'm not wearing any panties...


"Commando" today...feelin' pretty macho after handling the mighty .223AI...

At your age you probably just tuck the "boys" in your boot top right?

would you guys please stop quoting her?

What a baffon. Who rags on someone when they have them on ignore?

Man up you sissy.


Someone please quote me.

How does one "man up" on the internet? I'm dying to know.


Travis

Face them instead of hiding behind the ignore button.

So, if I were to read your post and reply thats you are a lifeless, [bleep], douche bag, I would be "manning up"?

Hypothetically speaking of course...


Travis

Yeah, and if I said you were worthless, lowlife, loser.

I'd be doing the same...so to speak.

Ok. Thanks for teaching me how to "man up". I feel really tough now. If I bump into Rancho I'll try and teach him how to "man up".


Travis

Well, we are on a forum. It's just the written word. So, we can only man up with the written word.

Face to face things would be different.

Giving someone little snipes when you can't read what they say back to you is something little girls do. If he wants to ignore me that's fine. Just stop whining when I continue to post, and someone quotes me. I never post to him until he says something about me. It's an obligation. Rag on me. I rag on you. I like to keep things in balance.

I think my chest hairs grow a smidge every time I read your posts. Please tell me more about being manly.



Travis

Any person whom puts someone on ignore then pops them off(ignore) to stab them in the back,then returns to ignore so they can't see the response...

Is What?

But then again,that is just my opinion without naming names.
