    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    A lot of my buddies in Idaho hunt elk deer & bear in heavy timber, most of their shots are under 100 yards some less than 50. They swear by a lever action in 45/70 or 444, also have friends that have gone to the 450 Bushmaster faster more energy and faster follow up shots on running critters
