    An easy question for all you elk hunters..

    Have been doing some pondering recently, and one thing I keep wondering, what’s the average distance an elk is taken at ?

    If you’re an archery hunter, feel free to include your ranges !

    if you’ve harvested many elk, you can also just give an average..
    if you want to be really helpful, just put the general terrain the shot was taken in as well.

    Am currently piecing together an elk specific gun, so all answers appreciated and will go a long way to helping me make a decision when I’ve never hunted them let alone harvested one.

    might as well let you guys pick apart my plan so far..

    BLR stainless pistol grip in 300 win mag, with a vortex viper gen II 1-6 scope. (Liking the extra weight to manage recoil a bit )

    also debating a .308 hells canyon speed, scope undecided.. but that’s a bit boring
    wouldn’t want to bump up to the 300WM in the hells canyon as that defaults to a 26” barrel and not the nimble 22”.

    cheers.
