[QUOTE="Ned Jr., post: 248280, member: 3703"] Scout the area you are going to hunt and learn their habits. Elk are very repetitive so once you learn where they are in the mourning, where they bed down (this may be a few different places) and where they go at night to eat it makes it easier. They can smell you but you should be able to smell them when you get into them. They usually run in herds. Once you get into a herd keep track of the one you are shooting at and keep shooting, elk can travel a long way wounded. Bullet placement is most important but I'd go with the 300 Mag.. I like 30-06 myself but just go with what you are use to that has good knockdown power. If you're hunt is during rut learn how to bugle and cow call. One other thing, elk may run around in a circle trying to figure out witch way to run, when they figure it out they go for it and seldom change course. Happy hunting. :D [/QUOTE]
