[QUOTE="VTbluegrass, post: 1530409, member: 104786"] I will start with I have never been on an elk hunt and it may be awhile before I get the opportunity being that I live in eastern NC, but the day I get a rifle draw I will likely take the 7RM in my cabinet over my 6.5 or 270. That being said within appropriate ranges for the cartridge I wouldn’t think 6.5 a totally inappropriate. The animals fall to stick and string every year and I have yet to set an arrow create more havoc than a high power rifle. What I have seen a lot is people that couldn’t follow a blood trail and didn’t know what sign to look for when dry tracking a wounded animal. Many people will write it off as a miss or loss if its not DRT or if it doesn’t look like a Teranteno scene when they look for blood. I have found numerous animals for friends and a few strangers who either by inexperience or laziness came to the conclusion they missed or made a bad hit on a deer. That’s a really long way of saying I blame field craft. [/QUOTE]
