Did you ask any of the Douglas, WY resident's about the Iowa Boy with the red grocery-getter F-150, last week 2021? Give us all the details.......we are on pins/needles. Sorry, too busy helping my NR friends. Five elk in one day keeps a person hopping...although they were all loaded in the truck by 2 PM. Two cows: Sorry Mike, after we killed 8 elk in 3 days, I was left with very little time to head to Arizona chasing Coues deer. I have a hunting schedule that would kill the average man. Shot this buck on the 29th...402 yards with my 7-08, 4th Coues buck: Too nice to scratch up in the catclaw, ocotillo, mesquite, and wait a minute bush that's why...just reworked it, my first hunting rifle, bought in 1978, that's killed a lot of game. Brand new fast twist pacnor, bedded, and I also refinished the stock. Did shoot a cow elk and a pronghorn with it this year though, 370 yards with a 90 grain accubond, never left its bed:

LOL, "I'm getting a lot of substantive and supportive PMs about you." Hopefully more substantive than your posts. So, elkslayer, happy camper, and who else mikey? A wise man is frequently humbled.

It's a dead elk for sure, but it's pretty clear it was hit quite far back in the butt or spine. Not exactly great shooting, but it got the job done that day (we all have off days and sometimes get a gift). Of course none of that is to say the 243 won't work on elk - it obviously will. I'd just not use that video as some sort of 6mm/elk testimonial. Quite the opposite, I'd say it's a bit of an indictment of shooting at 688 yards in wind by what appears to be a relatively inexperienced shooter. Turn the video play back speed to 0.25 and the definition up to 1050 and watch on a large screen and you will see its a good shot......

Hunted very little this year for deer and elk. 8 days in Colorado for mule deer, and a total 4 days for elk in MT (me and my daughter). about as little as I've ever done in my life. I did get to hunt bighorn sheep though. Hope the Iowa deer and WY cow elk are keeping you on your toes.
