Wow, nice. What caliber did he use? I'm not familiar at all with elk hunting.

I'm going to be honest, I was working in the barn. We just hear the shots and wait for the texts...

He was shooting a pretty '64 model 70 that was his grandpa's in 30'06

You an use as small as a .270 I've killed several with that. My grandpa used to poach them in the depression with a .243 bullet placement is important of course. They are tough as hell. This one took 2 shots through the front shoulders before he even moved. My son calls him 50cent because he took 4 shots to put him down

Man, MDC really needs to do something about the out of state hunters before the locals take things into their own hands.

It's pretty sad when the local youth can't even find a place to hunt after a bunch of east coast plates swarm into an area.

Yeah, we deal with that with pheasant. Just have to find land owners that will post it and let locals hunt

Unfortunately, the larger tenants are now requesting hunting rights with their cash rent bids. They use the "dealing with ruts and trespassers" line and the land owners fold. They then turn around and lease their scattered 5-7k acres out to a whole hunting group from out of state. Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, you name it, the plates are here. Of course, they conveniently leave their owned ground out of the hunting lease. I couldn't begin to count the number of guys and kids who have lost their spot in the last 2 years. The groups are big enough they're renting multiple houses for the month.

It's insane.

Hunting clubs are buying land around where I live driving land prices higher

Wow nice rifle and a beautiful Elk.

I read so many Outdoor Life articles written by Jack O'Connor and his exploits with the Winchester model 70 pre-1964 "legendary".

Looks like it found a great home. I hope he appreciated what a fine rifle he possesses.

I’ve always hunted white tail with a .243. No good in the brush, though.
