ELKampMaster ,

Thanks for the reply. I will be using a Remmington pump 30-06, sighted at 100 yards. Is this an effective approach?

I have boxes of Remmington - Springfield 150 grain Core Lock Soft Point bullets and was planning on using these for the hunt. Is the sufficient?

Your are correct, it's very rare to draw a elk permit in MI. Once drawn, I am excluded for life, which is why I must make this count.
