About 80%of those respondingmeet or exceedour "Elk Camp Minimums" (hunter's numbers from their past thru present).... it gets even better when you get around to studying their "today's favorite elk irons".
Some in the 20% groupdecried havingused toolittle gun.
Meanwhile, none in the 80% group complained about having "too much gun".
Observedno complaints in the 80% group regarding accuracy and ability to hit.
Saw evidence of many starting with smallbores and then finishing larger....
Saw very little evidence of starting with larger boresand finiishing smaller....
That's the numbers from the ones that have been out there and done it.

2 - 300 ultra mag
I'll never hunt any big game with any rifle except my rem 700 300 ultra mag, it drops em like a bad habit. This year I'm going to try myluck at handgun hunting with my new S&W 460. It would be SWEEEET to take my next elk with it.

BOTH OF MY BULLS WERE KILLED WITH LONG GUNS, MY 3X4 WAS KILLED WITH A MODIFIED SAVAGE 110 .270 AND MY LIL SPIKE WAS TAKEN WITH A .45 CAL BLACK POWDER. THE .270 WAS A REALLY FAST KILL BUT THE .45 JUST SEEMED TO TAKE FOREVER AND A DAY FOR TEH LIL BULL TO FALL.
