My Elk - 2006

One shot and a rewarding end to months of preparation. Sorry you can't see much but her head is by my right foot. The guide said this cow elk would weigh 800 pounds on the hoof. I think he was guessing high, but she was big. The shot was taken at 260 yards off shooting sticks with a Ruger chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum. The scope was a Burris Fullfield II Ballistic Plex. The load was a handloaded 180 grain North Fork at 3032fps.
