With these new LE Elk HAMS hunts, even the deer hunts that are this way, I'm wondering what weapons people usually use? I'm thinking of applying for some of these more primitive weapon hunts and thought I would see what people do.
I cannot imagine killing an elk with a handgun or shotgun, it just puts a weird image in my mind. My immediate thought would be muzzleloader or my bow. An open sights muzzy is probably the preference. But, with new slugs and bullet technology, maybe a shotgun would be the way to go. It's like shooting a muzzleloader that you can pump to reload. Has anyone ever hunted a HAMS hunt? What was your weapon of choice?
