[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1408547, member: 12995"] I haven't killed any, but I know they're anatomy, and they are nothing more than oversized deer. I've killed several deer with a .22-250, and comparing bullet to animal size ratio, I'd say .30 caliber and elk are pretty comparative. I've also had several deer roll up from a .22-250 55 grain Hornady, and have seen them run for over 100 yards with a perfect shot from a .300 Weatherby Mag. Animals run...It's instinct. Sometimes you get lucky and all the stars align and you get a DRT kill. But those are not as common as people like to tell. And, I also know that this thread is about WHITETAIL DEER, not elk.
