[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 2810206, member: 108576"] My first elk hunt was a disaster.I walked up a 7000 ft mountain and took a shot at huge bull elk at 300 yards while trying to breathe and not pass out with a 300 Savage.I went home with a smaller elk that year but ALWAYS planned better. Took the 30-06 next time and exercised by running with a backpack full of rocks to get in shape and went up west at least 3-4 day earlier to get acclimated to altitude.(I was young back then) Since 1998 I live in elk country and my personal feelings are shot placement is the most important part of elk hunting but I carry a 300 win mag and one day would love to have a 300 PRC.Just my personal feelings and have friends that use a 6.5 PRC and connect more often than this old man [/QUOTE]
