[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 838825, member: 25760"] I have lived in Gillette Wyoming for the last 26 years. Before that mostly Idaho. I do want to also make you aware that my elk would mostly be "short range" for this web site. Usually under 300 yards. Same for my friend. I have only lost one elk that I hit. My fault. I rushed the shot and made a poor hit. Very little blood. Not one of my better moments. I can't honestly say whether a bigger caliber would of made any difference in that instance. I guess if you hunt long enough your going to make a mistake. I have never had a long blood trail to follow. Usually had them down in 50 yards or less. I would have to ask my friend about his. Likely similar to my experience. Well hit animal is dead with a .270. Bruce [/QUOTE]
