[QUOTE="Red Sparky, post: 833316, member: 37223"] Reading this thread my only question is why does it being a cow make any difference? Yes the cows are smaller than mature bulls but it is still a large animal with the same anatomy. Some of the cows here are as big as a 5 point rag horn. I feel any animals life to put meat on my table deserves respect. For me personally that means using enough gun for a quick humane kill, doing all I can to reduce Murphy's Law. The .243 is the minimum caliber for elk here in NM so it is legal. If I was going to give up my ML to go elk hunting with a centerfire, and I did not have another rifle, I would buy a Savage or Ruger American in '06 or 7mm for under $500 new in the box. Then I would practice, practice, practice. [/QUOTE]
