I will be 69 in June.. My last elk, I had a good friend hunting with me and honestly he did most of the heavy work.. Otherwise, I suppose the last 10 elk I have gotten out by myself.. Makes one aware of the country he is hunting in, and also makes me want a weapon that does the job and quickly.. I can kill and elk with the .222, but I certainly wouldn't want to depend on it for general elk hunting..
