[QUOTE="Buano, post: 438656, member: 21641"] The original post asked whether a 20-gauge was appropriate for elk hunting. At least that's how I interpreted it. The author also stated he was new to elk hunting. I grew up hunting deer with slug-guns. I have a very accurate rifled-barreled slug-gun in my safe that I'll uses for a week in November. I'm not ignorant of what a slug can do. A modern slug gun can take animals harder to kill than elk — if everything works right. The question is, "Should a new elk hunter enter the woods carrying a 20-gauge?" To THAT question I say, "No!". Let the new hunter carry a weapon suited to the game he is pursuing. Once he is experienced chasing elk he can make an intelligent decision as to whether he wants to hunt with a more primitive weapon, whether that is a bow, muzzle-loader, or slug-gun. [/QUOTE]
