Have any of you ever taken an elk with a slug gun? This will be my first year to give it a try. I will be shooting a Remington 870 12 gauge, Nikon Buckmaster 3x9x40, with Remington Premier 1 ounce copper solids. I plan on hunting an open meadow first morning with my 300RUM, and as soon as it warms up, I'm going into the timber with my slug gun and 44 mag. I feel comfortable out to 100 yards with the slug gun and out to 40 yards with the 44 mag. I would like any advice or success stories that you can offer.

Thanks Bryan
