[QUOTE="matt_3479, post: 493804, member: 23070"] I've never hunted elk before, this will be my first year ever :) but I did hunt moose last year. The shot was 550 yards. My dad and I both shot. He used a 270. Win with 150 grain sierra game king, and I used a 300. WSM 180 gr accubond. I empty an entire clip on the SOB with only missing 1 shot to the brisket. My dad empty an entire clip with 1 shot hitting high shoulder. The moose dropped and it fought and fought to get back up and finally it did!!! It walked into the bush and layed down. We figure it was done forsure and we went in and it got up and ran!!! It ran!! We track the SOB for 2.2 km finding a ridiculous amount of blood, lung tissue, fur everything needed. But no moose. We were later told that if a bull moose is with other cows ( which it was) the cows will push it to run untill it dies. The only reason we stop is because the one guy with us almost had a heart attack (74 years old) and we had to get him home. I will be going after elk this year in montana and I will personally experience which is stronger but I will be surprised if the elk can do what my moose did. [/QUOTE]
