The elk antlers I posted pictures of didn't grow on the wall.

I was looking at the pics of your European mounts, where did you get those skull hooks from? They look good.

OP,
To answer your question, A 300 Win mag with a 180 Grain bullet, or a 30.06 with a 165 grain bullet would be my choices. As long as the shooter can competently handle either rifle, your in business.

I have no doubt it's possible, but just seems an awful strange choice for a seasoned hunter to be a any sort of widespread practice.
