Easy there Turd F.,
We don't need that kind of talk here.
Beaverjack is one of the most knowledgeable people on elk hunting I know. What he is tring to say is that you need enough bullet and gun to be able to make a quartering or less than perfect shot. I know from my own experience that elk do not offer perfect shots most of the time. So you may need to shoot at an animal that is not perfectly broadside. He was more tring to point out that you may not have time to take a solid rest, breathe, relax, aim, and squeeze the trigger on an animal standing in perfect position. Even with deer hunting the longest I usually have to shoot a deer is about 3 seconds.And as far as typing, it's called "dialect", god I hope I spelled that right. I'm not very good at speling ether.
