[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1173611, member: 1656"] Elk are tough. I've killed them with both rifle and bow, and in both cases their tenacity gave me the utmost respect, compared to other game. I'm sure a 260 within 300 yards is lethal. Absolutely. But personally, I already have rifles in .30 and .358 caliber, and so I will go to them every time for elk. Watching an elk absorb 3 good lung shots from a 300WM at short of 700 yards and walk off to hack blood for 5 minutes or more before falling over…I respect their toughness. It's not a big deal when a whitetail is shot at close range, insides liquidated, and makes it 200 yards on adrenaline alone. But in elk territory, any travel distance at all can have major implications for recovery. [/QUOTE]
