RE: Bullet weight for Elk
Most bulls I seen die took some killin'. Several walked off with lil' bullets tucked in their shoulders. Placin' shots ain't realistic unner huntin' conditions, least not to plan on it fer yer killin' ability. Ain't nobody too old to learn. Learnin' hard or learnin' the easy way is yer choice. Jus' don't 'spect me to let some newbie swaller up yer bad advice 'thout speakin' up. A 150 from a 270 is marginal, requirin' a very good hunter with all the time in the world to fill out, a perfect opportunity, an' no buck fever. A 150 in a '06 ain't fer newbies. Sorry, but I calls 'em as I sees 'em.
