Mmmm,elk..it's What's for Dinner.
I would think the venerable 30-06 with a heavy bullet would do nicely as well. I have 3 rifles in that caliber, no .308. |

Good job Boince!
btw and fwiw, a check of the old history books shows that prior to the mid 1930's and the increasing popularity of the 30-06, the majority of the elk harvest in Oregon was accomplished with ....... Yup, 30-30. :eekL Course that WAS before them Elks and Whitetails got their armor issued. Regards, |

Good shootin bounce. I think elk meat is the best meat I ever tasted.
5knives that is interesting about the 30-30 hell that is a good round. Lot of NE deer hunters use it. Watching a documentary on the Eskimos hunting in Alaska. They were using a 25-06 long range on reindeer. Filmmaker asked why that caliber? "Hell it is all we have." They were eatin good so it must work?

I can still remember when the Eskimo's favorite caliber was the .22 Hornet.
Every specie of Alaskan big game was killed with it. Including the big bears. "Shoot 'em in the eye. If that doesn't work, shoot 'em in the other eye. Then they can't see you." |
