So I'm looking into a new long range elk whakin machine. With a recently developed hitch in my get-a-long, and some new hair tags, and keys to locked gates on the horizon, I will be looking to shoot farther and walk less. I have always been an up close and personal kinda guy taking some of my best deer and elk within 30yrds. I'm looking into either a .338, or a .300. In the past if it was outside 200yrds It walked till I caught up to it, now I'm going to be looking to stretch the barrel 500+ yrds and kill cleanly. I'm curious as to what you guys would suggest.
so does 3 missed cinder blocks = 3 gut shot elk? I bet I can shoot my 300 H.H mag at 200 yards at 200 cinder blocks for 200 broken blocks, I wouldn't be willing to accept those 3 erant shots at a living creature.
I doubt most bowhunters achieve 70% accuracy, to be able to hunt Elk with a bow you should have to pass a test where you have to run uphill for 1.5 miles jumping 28 logs of differnt hights and lengths, kneel cow call jump up run another mile while cow calling with a mouth diaphram ( without swollowing it ) stop, bring your bow to full draw and hold it for 7 minutes, then jump up run a mile downhill through the same trees only now with the sun up and its 65 degrees and your wearing underarmor and polar fleece, stop kneel, pull your bow to full draw hold it for 16 minutes, then turn only your upper body and shoot a paper plate 20 yards away through 14 alders 4 foot high ferns and all without choking yourself with a call.
