Now Dixie has no bars and no grocery stores..Elk City is the closest place to get vidals or a drink.
Your story rings true and it is sad people believe alot of this internet nonsense about what it takes to kill an Elk..There was a ranch on the Salmon River called the Williams place just up river from Ivan Harts place(Buckskin Billie)who came to supper every Sunday....
Anyway...The Williams and there 3 daughters all lived off the land and all the game they ate was taken with a Winchester .32 Special levergun..From squirrels to Moose/Elk/Deer and Bear or even Grouse(No shotgun)..One of the daughters,a friend of the wife,still does the weather here...
All people need to do is learn to hunt first then they will find,caliber is not all that important if you know how to use it!!
