Nothing beats a bull elk 20 yds, pissed off or hunting your "cow" down with your stick and string waiting for him.

Again, practice these shots guys, not many animals run out at 100 yds and stop on a level plane. I would really encourage this to anyone visiting the West for the first time. It's really that steep, up/down out here, yet many forget it.

I love to watch their kills because of the precision and accuracy but it wouldn't be for me. My queston is, what happens when the buck or bull of a lifetime jumps up at 20 yards? Most have too much magnification on their scope as it is and at 20 yards trying to get an animal in the field of view is almost impossible with the specialized equipment one must have to make an 800 yard shot. One could say this wouldn't happen in the West, but it did to me while growing up in Utah. One nevr knows what is going to jump up.
