I thought if you didn't twist dials and have a 1:7 twist, you couldn't kill anything period. Those old 30-06 bolt rifles with a good 10 power scope will more or less make bullets bounce off animals lol. I think people more or less get caught up with a different environment in which the elk live in and then when they see them in the wild, thoughts enter the brain that can't be explained. I think it's awesome to get fired up about hunting, but when it's illegal, dangerous, or your tearing up stuff to "get it done" that's when it's bad. 25 years ago it was a whole different ballgame. Just my two cents. Also, the hunting "reality shows" didn't make things any better.
