Default Idaho Elk - update

Tuesday 12/18

Just some updates.... I over estimated the range it was only a 176 yards as verified today with the range finder... (shuddup cdad)

Dressed the animal weighed 454 pounds - skinned and hanging 339

We were able to coax my Kawasaki up into the CC hook on with a rope and skid it all the way out on the snow to the gate then to the trucks... Gosh was that nice...

I continue to stress the quality of these Nosler partitions. This bullet does not expand as big as some of the others but the damage it does as it passes through is really amazing. I am sure that the Barnes accomplishes the same thing. I am not trying to pick on SW/SST's or any of the fancy sharp pointed bullets but we are not shooting a modern gun - these Nosler fly out to 200 just fine and have plenty of energy. In the hands of a good shooter 250 yards is not a question... just my thoughts - just wish they were not so darn expensive...
