rent a 4WD truck and make sure it has a good cow-catcher

HEY Mr Greenhorn, What sort of cow catching Partitions do you suggest ?

I've actually thought about this in Idaho as well !! With the new "HIT IT AND KEEP IT" rule they have in Idaho I thought I could take my truck and Wack a critter and with only a 1k deductable, would save several thousand's of $$'s in "GUIDING" fee's.

Here is a picture of a Moose I've recently taken that way



AND here is a deer that I hit with my Dodge. It flipped it over the hood and It landed "GUTTED" and all in the back of the truck.... I'm DAM proud of this deer !!! It was taken on PUBLIC roads during LEGAL hunting hours... I didn't have to hire a driver or more then 25 gallons of gas to bag this critter.. Errr.. "Harvest" or whatever you treehuggers call killing a buck

I prefer to shoot elk through the shoulders to get them on the ground quickly, and Hornady's aren't always up to this task. If the jacket splits past the cannelure, the Inter-Loct band can't be counted upon to retain the core and the bullet will often come apart. Hornady is hardly the last work in elk bullets, and I simply don't use them any more for elk hunting, as I consider them rather unpredictable.

Great elk bullets begin with the Nosler Partition, and include the Winchester Fail-Safe, Trophy Bonded, Swift A-Frame, and some of the other super-premiums.
