[/ QUOTE ] I've hunted that country, spent a good portion of my childhood just west of Trinidad in Segundo and LaVeta. I've also hunted with a 243 and seen elk taken with them.

The hunting pressure is pretty high in most public areas and the elk tend to be jumpy (moving shots). If you have a camera, bring it.
