[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 364152, member: 17128"] I hunt elk in Colorado, where sometimes they are in the black timber. Many here won't believe elk can be thought of as "pop-up" animals. I have shot elk from 60 yds to 225 yds in the trees. A 5 or 6 power scope would not be a problem here. Other times I hunt elk in the wide open western prairie. I've seen elk more than 3 miles away. Any caliber and scope combination isn't enough. Most often I can get to within a 1/2 mile of them with the truck and walk from there. Elk are BIG targets. A 3x9 or 4x15 has always been plenty. I can see where shooting smaller critters would leave me wanting for a scope in the 20 something power though. :) [/QUOTE]
