When hunting out west one often has to “stalk” the game.

These animals are not wound tighter than an 8 clock ready to spring like white tails that are under pressure like back east.

Often they are curious……the curiosity is over whelmed by fear eventually…….usually it’s about 60 yards they become uncomfortable. An elks vital area is perhaps 2.5 to three times as large as a whitetail doe.

If 30 yards is acceptable to whitetail hunting ……….
using minute of angle theory wouldn’t 75 yards be “acceptable “? For elk?

Just braying.
