[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 319075, member: 9736"] My brother recently was drawn for a rare Rocky Mountain Elk archery hunt in California. He shot a real nice 5x5 bull at 35 yards out of a tree stand. The bull jumped a little and he cow called and the bull stopped at 100 yards. The bull stood there for 54 minutes and finally tipped over. During cleaning there was a hole in both lungs and the liver. If this bull had decided to run off he could have gone a long way in 54 minutes. Shoot him with a howitzer if you can they are incredibly tough. I couldn't imagine using a 243 for elk the odds of wounding him are huge compared to a bigger caliber. Respect the animal and if you want to go elk hunting get the rifle to do the job. [/QUOTE]
