Sorry, but they are not big deer. That isn't because of their DNA, it is that they are an elegant and unique animal that is different than what deer are considered.

Yes, I'm sure I've killed more than most, and they can take a ton of punishment before dying. As far as Elk Kool Aid, this site seems to give the idea that fast twist and small calibers are elk killers. It's not that elk can't be killed with small calibers, it is just Kool Aid to think a 243 and such is more than enough to hunt elk.

Any time you want to compare notes, feel free to ask. Killing elk and being around killed elk will number past 200 for me and I am talking about first hand experience, not hunting sites and magazine articles.
