What shot would you take?

[CoryTheCowboy]

You come over a rise, look down and see this. You have you favourite big game rifle and are leaning against a tree, so a solid rest. Shot is 125 yards.

Personally, the only shot I'd take is 5. And even that one is a pretty narrow margin for error. Shot 3 isn't quartering quite enough to place one confidently in the vitals without risking a gut shot.

Definitely not on any of those bulls. They are in the wide open and it is only a matter of time that one will present the perfect shot..................patience is a virtue. I'd wait for #6 to give me that perfect shot.

 

[Big Game]

They're all too small!! I'd pass them all up and wait for something bigger!

 

[sk8r]

I don't think I'd take any of 'em right at that moment. I'd be tempted maybe by #5, and maybe a bit less so, by #3. But, in reality, if those were the only shots I had, I'd just admire 'em & come back another time.

Yep. Nothing great right now, but inside a few seconds a great shot will be available. That's your que to get a good rest and try to calm yourself down.

I'd be comfortable with 3 or 5 if it was all that was presneted to me ... but Track is right, just sit and wait and one of them would turn perfect broadside eventually....

I would shoot #5 with my .338 and go looking for a pack horse. #4 does not throw a shadow likely bad medicine to shoot him.

Never had occasion to shoot an elk before, so they all look good. Which is likely the best scoring bull?

 

[mrgoat]

All except #1 show suspect your there. I would be stone still and wait for for one of the nicer ones to turn and present a good opportunity.

 

[blasted_saber]

One of them is bound to turn.

 

[notsorichguy]

All but 1 @ 125y.......

Likely I'd wait for a better shot on the most impressive one if they weren't spooked.....

 

[Gatehouse]

Pretty much all of them could be killed cleanly using a cartridge with enough horsepower and a good bullet like a TSX.

But yeah, they are undisturbed and in the open, an easier shot is going to present itself soon.

 

[gtrussell]

# 3 or 5 looks the best to me.

 

[Attilathecanuk]

At 125 yards, I would confidently shoot #3.

Patience is a virtue.

4 in the neck(although I don't know if you can kill a beast that light travels through), 6 in the chest.

 

[3macs1]

No. 5 for me as they are standing now if I had to fire but I would normally wait

I have to agree with 6,with a good rest.

With all bulls in the open as they are, I would study them all, and wait for the shot opportunity on the one that I really want. If I had to shoot them as they are, I would shoot 3, or 5, likely 3.
