25-06 and Elk

[Mojave]

Famous Wyoming gun writer Bob Milek killed something like 30 or 40 elk with a 25-06.

He is buried in Thermopolis across the bridge from the Star Plunge. Go put a box of 25-06 shells on his grave when you are in town.

Once again know your limits. Pick the right bullets. I cant find the picture but on a bull I killed during archery a few years back, I found a 30 cal in his shoulder blade. The shot had to be long as it really did not deform, but it was in the bone. It was at least 160 grains. Limits, the right bullets, and placement. Oh and be ready to follow up with tracking. I hunt PNW and am tired of I must have missed him people. Then I go in there 2 days later and find him 100 yards away. Will 2506 do it, yes if you do your part. You take the shot you spend time looking for the animal. Use the right bullets do your part and you should be fine.

But but but shoulder's can't stop bullets!

Is this how you get your ammo?
