[QUOTE="308 holes, post: 1343930, member: 5679"] I may be a lil late replying but after 25 years (yes 25 years) i finally drew the coveted bull elk tag i can say I'm super excited for Oct 22nd to arrive but I'm juggling rifles around in my head and cannot decide on a caliber,I can say the 6.5 creedmoor and the 143 eld-m is devastating on a cow elk my wife killed her cow Saturday evening with a 6.5 creedmoor.God knows I love hunting with her.So the cows start moving we get to 300 yards belly crawling across the field and she gets to a spot she can shoot ,gets setup and all of the sudden buck or in this case cow elk fever sets in shes shaking so bad she whispers to me I can't hold the crosshairs steady ,I whisper back take a couple of deep breaths and boom the gun goes off,my wife hits the cow in the hindquarter,now the fun part of this tracking a wounded animal which it's turning dark the truck is 4 Miles away and the only flashlight I have on me is my phone at this point so we track this cow another mile to mile and a half finally she beds down we can see her head up at 400 yards so I sit down and let my wife use my shoulder as a rest and puts one in her head .But back to the 143 eld-m it's more than enough for cow elk if I knew how to post pics I would [/QUOTE]
