Hi Hesp, you obviously know what you are talking about with your experience. I have only harvested half a dozen Elk and those with a 7 mag so I am sort of hung up on it. What you are saying makes a lot of sense and I thank you for your post. One of the species hunts she put in for were Tule Elk which are a little bit bigger than a good sized Mulie. Here she said she would use her 7-08. Perhaps I'm trying to force feed her on the mag. The main thing now is get drawn for the hunt. The final say on what rifle and load she will use is up to her as she is as set in her ways as I am. Again, thank you all you folks for your comments
