Agree with what the others have said but when it comes down to an expensive hunt I would use another rifle even though the 25-06 is one of my absolute favorite rounds. On a fun hunt for Cow Elk no problem with the 25.

"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
