Seems to me like all us internet experts should be asking the OP how dead a .44 Mag kills elk, then the other way around.
After all, he is the one eating elk steaks, and elk chili.
Not the rest of us internet experts who think, in theory, it is too small for elk!
How many westerners do you think fed themselves & their families on elk & deer 100 years ago with a 38-40 WCF or 44-40 WCF lever gun with half as much power??
Like somebody already said, if you know how to hunt and get close enough for trajectory not to play into it?
A .44 Mag carbine is every bit as effective as a 30-30 Winchester or .300 Savage.
And those rifles have killed enough elk over the last 100 years to sink a pretty good sized ship.
