[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 290679, member: 14435"] There are guys with alot more experience than me, but I have seen 20ish elk taken over the years, by me and my hunting partners. I have to say that when you bugle them in and they are ready for a good fight they seem to be alot tougher. If you pop one at 400 yards with a unsuspecting heart shot, they seem to go down much easier, just a little stagger and flop. You bugle one in, and he's already all charged up and they can be very tough, even with a solid double lung hit they can go a heck of a long ways. I have seen an elk hit (with a 300win mag/180 partition) in the base of the heart with half of his lungs gone go a almost a half mile before piling up. Personally my call for an elk rifle starts with a 3. Something from a 300wsm up to a large cased 338, depending on the ranges you a looking at. [/QUOTE]
