[QUOTE="GonzoK34, post: 2883590, member: 8915"] the 7-08 is an effective caliber. For elk the key is bullet placement. Elk are heavy boned animals. However, hitting any antelope, deer, elk or a hog with the bullet impacting bone can and will result in a wounded animal. Based on my experience hunting elk in western states the terrain is the main factor that dictates where the elk you hunt live. The conditions can be wide open long shots to steep wooded forest and close shots. In any case a heavy for caliber bullet behind the shoulder works every time. I prefer 140 Barnes TTSX. Good luck [/QUOTE]
