RE: Tips for an elk hunt
OldElkHunter
Same story for me, only it happened early on (23) I was a big 270 fan, but once I tried a 338 I never looked back - big bullets at medium high speed just bust through what ever gets in their way! No need to ask the elk to pose for the shot!
Now the 270 don't even make the trip to elk camp as the back up rifle or the loaner. It was fun and and light for antelope and deer and super for long range prairie dogs and coyotes using a high power scope and "bench resting it" out the window of a 4WD!
