Coach,

Having guided for elk in Michigan I can tell you the 12 guage should get the job done, because it is so darn thick you often can' t see over 75 yards. However, if you see the bull of a lifetime at 120 yards you' re gonna wish you had a 30.06, 300, 300 mag or 348.

If you want to learn a few things about elk and elk hunting come on over and join us on the T.R.' s Tips board.
