Took my Marlin 1894 out last season for elk. Didn't have a bull tag, just a cow tag. Took the elk at 85 yards with one shot. Used a 240 grn soft point. Hit upper lung area, elk went 40 -50 yards and dropped.
My hunting buddys said it was a luck shot and that the 44 is not good for elk. I disagree. Within 100yds I think it will drop bull or cow. The cow weighted in at 600lbs.
Any thoughts on the 44 for elk?
