Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 25 06, or even 257 roberts on elk?

This is Steve_No on muddy waters computer. One factor nobody has mentioned is the issue that comes up more and more on crowded public land of "whose elk is it?" Most of my elk hunts have either been on ranches or way way back where we didn't have alot of conflict with other hunters. But I understand this is a major issue in some areas, and another reason for selecting a caliber likely to put the animal down before he can get over the ridge and catch a bullet from some other nimrod.
