I mean an elk is simply a magic creature that actually knows what it has been shot with. Wrecked hearts and lungs are not the point, it will not die until a minimum cartridge has been used.

Magic is cool. grin


I used to be in the camp that thought a 30-06 was marginal for elk... and used a 300 Win Mag on everything, including Coues. After a few years of THAT, I've seen a 223 and various 260s flatten more critters, and flatten them faster faster, than I ever saw with that 300.

I guess I'm just a quick learner and obviously of above average anti-wizardry skills. Like a [bleep] ninja or something.

A goat [bleep], however, I will never be... LOL.
