[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 1530802, member: 25760"] I've been a part of over 50 elk kills. Been hunting them for almost 50 yrs now. Started with a 30-06 with 180's. Most of the elk were killed with a .270 of some sort with 140-150 gr bullets. More recently I've used a 7 MM of assorted flavors and a .300 WM. Bullet placement is king. I can remember 1 lost elk. We were working on a buddies downed elk gutting it. Looked up and had several cows moving down a trail above us. Never saw a flinch, but found some blood. Always wondered what actually happened on that animal.... No snow. Spent some time looking and couldn't find a thing... I've written before about a friend that now is in his 80's. They used to do a bit of party hunting. He has likely killed in excess of 120 elk and could easily be over 150. His elk rifle was always a .270 with 130 grain partitions. He was an excellent shot and a lot of years would spend 2-3 months hunting elk and helping hunters hunting them. Bruce [/QUOTE]
