Here is a photo of an elk that old sly took with a small caliber rifle.

Well guys this year I drew a cow elk tag here in Idaho. The season started the 21 of November and was in the area that I take the kids for the white tail rut. We had spotted the elk 2 days before season started and was ready for opening day. Of corse opening day it was fogged in and the elk walked within 100 yards but I could not see them, all I could do was sit there and let them walk.
Day two was different and 10 min after it got light enough to see I fired one shot at 140 yards, the cow walked out of sight and the rest of the elk ran out of sight and then back into sight looking back where my cow had gone. I waited about 15 min and started to where I had last seen the cow walk out of sight. I found where she was standing in the mud and followed her tracks almost 10 yards when I could see over the knowl. I spotted the elk stone dead and only 20 yards from where she stood at the shot.

For the rest of the story, Thats right, my coyote rig.. well I shot this elk with a 20Tac, a 40grn Berger bullet @ 3920fps. The bullet hit a tad high and still took out her lungs where the trake and asofogas converge, the heart had some small frag wounds and the bullet made it all the way to the ribcage on the exit side. Killed her graveyard dead with one shot.

Just thought you might get a kick out of this pic.

Thanks Rich for the help posting the pic
