EHG is the real deal If that is true,he is far from the average hunter hunting in or on public ground ..How old is he to shoot over 36 Elk past 600 yards? Was it for food or????Bragging rights????

Jayco No where did I see the requirement of being an average hunter in or on public ground in your question... I am not an average hunter but most elk I kill are on public ground... ETA: All the meat is donated to needy/low income/single parent families... Thats probably not even a small percentage of what this guy has done at that range or beyond.....you should be all ears when he says something. EHG is the real deal Thanks SS... I appreciate the kind words...

I believe EHG is the real deal too.
He is most definitely a man of his word and that goes a long way with me.

Saw the video and Wayne V.Z. should be ashamed of himself for televising that stunt. IMO it was a barefaced sales pitch for Graybull rifles. What if Mr. Van Zwoll had flinched, or something spooked the bull just as he shot, or a mini-dust devil kicked up - would they have shown the video of the bull with 1/2 his face shot off, or humped up from a bullet in the liver? No question there are rifles and loads that can do it under ideal conditions, as well as a good many hunters and shooters who can do it, but is it ethical to risk a marginal shot on an elk for the purpose of a promotional campaign? Not to me.
I saw this as a clever attempt to convince the average joe without much experience, that he really doesn't need to go through all the hard work of practicing from field positions with no rest and no spotter and no sighting shots, in all kinds of weather, and analyzing loads and targets, but rather, just buy that same rifle and bingo he is dialed in.

The real question is: In which state does he live, and is he a free man? If so, how free? Ranked. By state. *grin*

Jayco What business is that of yours? You asked the question, the man answered. That ain't good enough?

From what I see there your idea of a elk gun is a rod and reel loaded with a hook and taking those funny looking antlerless elk with it is just plain un ethical and a promotional stunt to lure in the poor inexperienced funny looking elk hunters so you can sell your services. Just don't let PETA see that picture, them funny looking elk look like they suffered a tortured demise from the use of the wrong funny elk gun.

Jayco How many elk did I say I've shot at 600 yards, Einstein? You need to get a new hobby. Something to occupy your time other than cyber-stalking Mule Deer, quoting him out of context, and asking others to justify his quotes. Are you really that envious of him, or what?

Jayco Now take your time and really pay attention here.... In my experience, a dozen animals is a start on learning what a cartridge will do, but several dozen is a much better number. Four or five doesn't tell us much at all. Nowhere in that phrase do I see the word ELK or the words 600 yardsYou can thank me later.

You actually want to worry about mini dust devils?? What about a full blown tornado?? Earthquake?? Tsunami?? Heck the Yellowstone Caldera is due to blow sometime in the next 100,000 years so we got that to worry about also. Mini dust devils. Really??
