Skeeter,

Though some may disagree, I feel the 7mmRemMag and 30-06 are about equivalent especially with the use of premium bullets. In fact 7mmRemMag/30-06 is the minimum we allow in our elk camp Given your injuries, a 7mmRemMag is a handful, the pounds of kick may not be too high but the velocity of the kick is pretty sharp.


Seadog,

Problem is everyone claims to be an expert with what they got, thus making "pop guns" okay to use on big game like elk and then when they're in the elk woods and bad things happen because of it, we never hear or see any of it here on this forum. Yeah, I was going to limit myself to broadside shots, but it was the last day of the season, others had filled their tags, and they were moving away at an angle and I just....... and it got away, or maybe I missed. (LOL) Uh huh, that's why its best to "take enough along" in the first place, then one isn't tempted to do the wrong thing.
