Much smaller ones are also shot, and if you have done this hunts often and in different areas, you will quickly notice it. You will definitely always be attracted by the outfitters who show the biggest trophies that have ever been shot, but that's the case for all game, even those where it's really difficult to shoot a big trophy. In addition, Elk hunting in Central Asia often requires good physical fitness as one often hunts in high mountains, and in some cases one have to shoot at long range. You cannot always be choosy about the trophy. I think that it's not different in North America.

As far as the cartridges are concerned, the Elk is a very tough game, especially the deer in the rutting season and that's why, also because one have sometimes to shoot at longer range, bigger magnum calibers or similar are recommended. I was very satisfied with cartridges like the 9,3x64 Brenneke or 340 WBY-Magnum and heavy bullets, less so with high performance cartridges like the 300 RUM and lighter bullets. I experienced how big Elk deer were shot with cartridges like the 7mm Rem Mag, but it was not that easy.
