I have hunted elk in Colorado for over 30 years. No matter what caliber you are using, the rifle gets real heavy to say the least when you are going up and down these hills. I have had more success hunting timber in the day than morning or the evening. The thought of using a pistol over a rifle intrigues me to say the least, especially the weight difference.
