My first elk was downed while hunting with my Granddad in the foothills of the Bighorn Mts. of northern Wyoming. It took two quick shots into the chest organs from a shooting distance of approx 75 yards. I shot this bull with his Winchester 30-30 using iron sights. Granddad never read hunting magazines and neither did this elk. My 30-30 did the job quite well!

My next three bulls were downed with my Savage 99 in .308 with a Burris scope attached. Distances varied from about 125 yards to approx 225 yards.

Elk are not armor-plated despite what Boddington has to say about his love for magnum rifles.
