.223
 

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Just moved from Wisconsin to Ca. Bummer! But I've heard that there are places I can hunt elk in Ca.

I'm wondering if anyone else out there uses .223 for elk, and if it's legal in Ca.?

RE: .223
 

.223 for elk? That is an oxy moron, the .223 isn't even suitable for deer sized game, let alone the much bigger and more muscular elk, I hope you are joking, because if you arn't you need to do some research. I would prefer a .300 or .338 magnum for elk hunting.

Im not joking, and I know it might sound a little unorthodox, butI just try to getas close as I can and take head shots. My family owns property in colorado, and I have a lot of practice with precisionshooting with a .223.

RE: .223
 

In that case, its definently possible, but, you should consider maybe getting another, more powerful rifle more suited to elk hunting.

I have tried using a high powered rifle, but it is not as exciting as being able to take an elk with a well placed head shot and iron sights.

Well, while it may not be recommended, you can kill pretty much any game on the planet, with a .223 in the brain, however, I am not sure as to the legality of what you are wanting to do, go to the CA game & fish website, you should be able to find rules and regs there.

Kids, let this person be a lesson to you. Never marry your first cousin. And that is illegal in CA.
