I was watching this hunting show today called The High Road. I think the hosts name was Keith Warren. He was Elk hunting on a ranch in Riggins, Idaho. He had some bad luck with his bow so the last day of his hunt he used his Glock! It was a .45auto, had tricked out sights & what looked to be a 2-3" extended barrel. The cartridges looked to be hollow points & he said they were 230gr. They called in a nice 2-3yr old wanna say 6pt bull. From a prone position at about 20-30yrds the elk was DRT. First shot was a heart shot that looked to be enough. The elk put his head down & took a stumbling step. The Guy put a second shot that looked to have hit the same spot as the first & the elk just fell over dead!
The Guy said this Glock was his SD weapon but always wanted to kill an elk with it. One of the nice things about Idaho is our seasons are long & your not restricted to just one weapon. You just pay extra for a permit. Just thought I'd share & you might be able to find the episode on the web if your interested in seeing it.
