RE: What is your favorite "populist" elk cartridge?
I've only killed elk with a 30.06 and a 300RUM. This year I will be carrying the 300 RUM for sure, but I plan on mixing t up. IfI don't get my elk opening morning, I'm gonna try my 375 H&H the next day. I'm also gonna try my 12 ga slug gun, and my 44 mag, in the dark timber after it gets hot.
The rut is not in full swing as of yet. The longer it waits to start, the better thay come to the call in first rifle season! Come on October!
