I have only hunted elk three times. I carried a Remington 700 in 300 Winchester Magnum the first time, switched off between a 300 Weatherby and a 358 Norma Magnum the second, and 30-06 the third hunt. Shot an elk on the second hunt with the 300 Weatherby.

This may not count, but I made a couple feeble attempts, emphasis on "attempts" with a 340 weatherby.

Started using a Pre 64 264 in the late 60s until 2000 then switched to a Mod. 70 300 RUM. Don't remember how many elk have been shot with those two guns. Now if you are talking deer, that list is longer than my arm.

First was a cow elk with a borrowed 8x57 iron sights. Two with my bow. The rest were with a M77 30.06 tanger and then a Tikka 30.06. Bout 23 as near as I can remember.

Current harvest count is 17 and all have been taken with two calibers. 270 Winchester and 300 Winchester Mag. Probably won't change a thing on the next 17.
