[QUOTE="TG-5150, post: 1533784, member: 103379"] sp6x6, Hunting quality has definitely gone way down up there, agree on that. I have always focused on the base of the ear area for a head shot. Atlas is located right there on most mammals, humans included; that’s why Tyson was such a deadly boxer. It’s always worked for me. I used to hunt in a few middle forks. The middle fork of the Flathead, quite a bit actually. A place called Skyline Creek. Logged up there at the base of the Great Bear for a couple of seasons. The Grizzly were all we had to worry about back then. I had a .340 for two seasons, before factory breaks. It kicked to damned hard, elk slayer for sure though. Like was said in a few posts earlier, it’s not the size of the gun that matters as much as were the bullet goes. I have had elk absorb several well placed shots that should have killed them dead alone. I hear about African game and their will to live making our elk seem like a muley doe in comparison, I know what elk have the ability to take and it’s humbling- an animals will to survive. [/QUOTE]
