Default RE: killed elk with which cartridges?

About 80%of those respondingmeet or exceedour "Elk Camp Minimums" (hunter's numbers from their past thru present).... it gets even better when you get around to studying their "today's favorite elk irons".

Some in the 20% groupdecried havingused toolittle gun.
Meanwhile, none in the 80% group complained about having "too much gun".
Observedno complaints in the 80% group regarding accuracy and ability to hit.

Saw evidence of many starting with smallbores and then finishing larger....
Saw very little evidence of starting with larger boresand finiishing smaller....

That's the numbers from the ones that have been out there and done it.
