What caliber do you already have?
A teen girl in Wisconsin used a 243.
I’ve used 270 and 45-70...
Most any deer adequate caliber with a good bullet will do, if you do your job.

You’ll be fine with .308.. just pick a bullet with solid construction and do your part.
Where are going Elk hunting? I’ve done Northernmost NV, CO, UT.

Ive always wanted to go on a elk hunt. I think I'm finally going to start enjoying life more/work less. With that being said I bought a .30 tc when they first came out years ago. Not so much for the caliber but the thompson center icon is beautiful. I shot a deer with it shortly after buying it and was not impressed at the killing ability, so I put it away. This year grabbed it for kill permit (soybean damage) and have killed quite a few with it and its been awesome. Its slightly more oomph than a .308 and is a sweet shooting gun, one you just can't miss with. Ive thought if I ever took a elk hunt I would like to use it, but have wondered if it was big enough. I feel confident that a 165 grain pill would do the job after reading the confidence for .308/ 7mm-08 in this thread.
