The first Elk I ever harvested, I had to run 200 yards
or so. I was at about 5000 ASL. on the side of a mountain
ridge.The Elk herd was running.
The hardest thing to do was to time the heavy breathing, high
heart rate, and not jerk the trigger.
These Olympic ladies only had one shot at a time.
Amazing!
Call me a junk hunter, but the bullets I used
were shit and didn't expand, I had 7 hits on 12 shots
at a running animal at a range of 125 yards. About a two foot "group".
Clone M14 was my rifle.
An Elk can still run with a shattered shoulder!
Thanks to shit bullets all the meat was good.
Filled my freezer.
