You boys from back east that wanna hunt elk, get in shape, get a good load you can shot well, and go hunt!!! Work your ass off, shoot good when the opportunity presents itself, and enjoy elk meat for the next year!! Caliber and bullet are the last thing you should think of. Get the tag, get your azz in reasonable shape, shoot your deer rifle in the summer, kill elk, it’s really that easy.....
Agreed. If we include an elk tag in our applications this year,Ill be carrying my 280AI,or the Kimber 30/06 Just because it's lighter. The AI piles 140 TTSXs into Little bitty groups. It's one of those rigs that just seems to shoot its self. The 06 will be stoked with 180 Partitions. Nice sweet spot at 57 grains of H4350 in a Norma case. Nuttin fancy. We hunt as hard as our body permits. Like you say,we worry more about being in shape than what's in the gun case. Good boots,good bullets and a good body. The hunting God's take it from there.
