Mule Deer, what do you think?

I note something I have seen now for about 40 years.
I bet you may have noted the same thing I have.

Funny but those that demand that the only proper elk rifles are magnum sized are almost never same hunters that live in elk country, have hunted them for their whole lives, and seen many dozens or even hundreds of elk killed.

Your thoughts and memories are welcome. Please share.

My bet is that you have similar experience.

I like my magnums and I have killed a LOT of elk with them.
But I have also killed a lot with 270s.
I can't see ANY difference in how fast they fell or died from the 270s I have used, or the 300 magnums, or even my 338 Win Mag.

As i said, I like my big rifles too, but I am not going to try to make others believe they are the only proper guns for elk.
