Depends on the range to the elk-- I got my poking stick, good inside three feet; my Winchester Model 37 in 20 gauge, which has 4 Maine bucks over 200# to its credit; my dad's (and his dad's, and his dad's, and. . .) old Winchester in .38-55, which was mfd. in 1897 and has killed hundreds of deer, a few of them even legal; and my Ruger #1 in .30-06 with a 2-7 Leupold on it. Can't decide which of these to take this year!

Thanks for the PM, Jeremy, and the useful information. Here's a few of my recent pix, cuz I always have a camera with me when I'm scouting. The sheep is from Idaho, but that muley eating junipers was two days ago in the Grand Canyon.
