Im done lol i got a gun to build good luck in future hunts all i will say
Exactly. Only thing i disagree with is Elk are tougher then most people think and can take a punch even double lunged
Specifically elk hunting i shoot them in shoulder for this purpose. Break shoulder they are done and enough gun to get through to vitalsI'll say that from the perspective of African game.
If I can break a shoulder, damage two lungs enough to have nature take it's course and have an exit wound with blood, nothing is altogether that hard to kill.
Now wound something with a poor(ish) shot and once the adrenaline gets going, almost everything become a bullet soaking tank. Elk included.
which brings us back to the bring enough gun part of the 6.5 CM.
Great whitetail round though.
If that's what you got out of it lol good dayI'm glad we've determined a 6.5 creedmoor can kill an elk.
We waded through grizzly-elk, regular elk, African dangerous game, .22's, and finally came to a sensible conclusion.
Same....with a creedmoorSpecifically elk hunting i shoot them in shoulder for this purpose. Break shoulder they are done and enough gun to get through to vitals
Amen.Specifically elk hunting i shoot them in shoulder for this purpose. Break shoulder they are done and enough gun to get through to vitals
I'm perfectly comfortable and capable of shooting and killing at long range. I wasn't going to walk away from them to take a longer shot. They were where they were, and I was elk hunting.200 yard's exactly. Within guns range. Fyi this is a long range hunting forum. You went through the hassle of taking that picture. Either way id honestly have hard time believing any of it ive just seen too much first hand but you do you. Ill keep my lapua and keep killing elk at 800+. You know those lapuas are scary
