What is best caliber for elk hunting?
I am going elk hunting for the first time, however being a women, finding an adequate caliber that will not kill me with recoil may be the trick; that, and being fitted correctly for it.
What I keep hearing is 30-06 is the way to go for elk, however I am very interested in hearing what experienced hunters have to say. I was originally going to look into 7mm-08 or 270, but now, I'm not so sure.
I am hoping to hear some good advice in one of these hunting forums.
