With that much experience, Fred, he should have no question as to whether his quest is feasible. Has he actually killed an elk prior to this upcoming hunt? With a stable platform at that distance, it comes down to his confidence. If your friend can place a round or two into an area the size of a watermelon at 600 yards, and isn't shaking like a leaf in the wind, he should be good to go. If he would be receptive to the idea, I have eleven rounds of Federal Premium 180 grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw ammo that I would be willing to send to him if he will reimburse me for the cost to ship it.He is in great shape. And no this is not guided hunts. He's actually been hunting elk for about 15 years. He goes up there every year. He said over the years he's noticed that he gets several good opportunities to shoot and they usually are 600 yards and under. He said the last couple hunts he has had a great opportunity to make a good broad side shoot just across the canyon at about 550 yards. And that they had a difficult time getting to him any closer because of the wind and terrain. He said it would have been so much easier to kill the animal there and then make it over to it to retrieve it rather than trying to get over there to get a shot
