RE: What is your favorite "populist" elk cartridge?
Hey there BigBulls. In the golden days of this forum we had folks like BeaverJack etc and I think you lived in NorthG at the time. There was a great deal of spirited debate about "hunters" using stocks and clothes manufactured from leftover "panties" etc. I think what EKM is looking for is a list of cartridges people have actually killed an elk with rather than having "hunters" regurgitate what they have read in back issues of field & stream. If I remember correctly, you were contemplating participating in the big bore shoot at Cherry Creek a few years ago but didn't attend. If you had, you would know Don is not a "I'm better than you guy". In any event, alot of friction could be avoided in the forums if members would speak from experience rather than make **** up.
Good luck to everyone hunting this year.
