I am just kinda curious. There are all of these questions that come up concerning what weapon to take on a first elk hunt. I thought it would be neat for everyone here to post what the killed there elk with THIS YEAR for the people who will inevitably ask in the weeks to come. I guess as a reference to what is really needed to kill elk, and what may not be entirely necessarry. Provide as many details as you can!!

I will start.

My cow fell to a .50 Cal. Muzzle loader. The load was 80 grains of Pyrodex RS and a 370 grain T/C Maxi Ball. The shot was 90 yards, though I had to shoot her again in the head at point blankbecause the first shot only broke her back, and didn't kill her right away.
