Huh? No, not at all, Im rather confused now. I said he doesnt have the money to chase after elk, i.e. leave the state and hire a guide. Also I said that the .300 WSM is a huge caliber for the small deer we have down here, as most are about 150 lbs. on the hoof. My .243 is more than capable of putting them down with no chase involved whatsoever.
