Default RE: Best place to shoot an elk??

It was a kill. It was 218 yards. My buddy used my rifle and it was not a perfect shot but did the trick. It was his first one with a ML or anything and it was legal. Thats about it but good more than good enough. I was a bit more stubborn staying after a 160-170 class buck the whole time. Which is hard to find in 36 in NM, though the one I found even had a sticker point and may have been even better but finding him close enough was another situation. Elk hunters kept him spooked. Though as an elk hunter you have to cover as much ground as you can. So it was my choice.

But like I said I was happy that it went bang even though when we took the tape off the top of the Encore and opened it, there was quite a bit of rust inside already..... Just the downfall of hunting regardless the weather.
