These elk have been hunted all fall and are pretty wary. This was the third time we setup on the herd and the first chance she had for a shot. I uploaded the video at full HD. I have one question, did you do that with a fixed 6X scope???

Who among us would attempt that shot with an over the counter .243 with an average 3-9 power scope? My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.
