[QUOTE="winmag, post: 359037, member: 22166"] I hunted elk for alot of years with my trusty ol '-06. It will do fine. Just make your shot count, cause following them b4 theyre shot is tough. Tracking them after the shot into the bottom of the abyss or what ever hole they choose to die in is not fun. My rule of thumb (wich may not be everyones way) is if in doubt put more lead in em'. If he's still on his feet I'm still shootin. They can be ''hard to die'' sometimes, and are well known for taking a well placed shot and somehow keep going. Not always, but its happened to most elk hunters I know(me included) at one time or another. That being said, Ive also seen -one- shot with a little 243win that died in its tracks. Just make your first one count and be prepared to add more lead if needed. Good luck [/QUOTE]
