Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

I use to hunt them with a Browning Buckmark 22, but unless I got a head shot the damn things would scurry off and die in the brush, 45 makes quick work no matter where you hit them.
Years ago we used 50 cal for long range elk hunting, shoot clear across the canyon. They banned the use of 50 cal so now I use .338-378 mag Weatherby. .308 or 7mag on deer
We rock 300 win mags or 338 win mag for Elk as well. Wife prefers 7mag. My wife will lay in the dirt for days for a chance to harvest an elk. She is crazy about Elk hunting. When we married that was her only request for a honeymoon! My kind a farm girl right there!
