"of yea that deer cartridge is fantastic but I use a 300 {fill in the blank} cannon myself because well I'm a real shooter and can handle recoil being an expert elk hunter and all"

Really, just give the topic a break. We all understand where you're coming from with your opinion. Not everyone agrees with you and let us just leave it at that. You don't have the corner on the market of elk hunting experience.
You've already proven what kind of shooter and hunter you are.

First you state you didn't have a buck tag, then you say you had a like license. What license was that? Either you had a buck tag or you didn't, there is no such thing as a like license in rifle seasons. So did you put your tag on that deer? If you had a "like license" that buck became yours and not your wife's when you dropped it. Tagging game you shot with someone else's tag is illegal in CO and as Old Roper pointed out "Party Hunting" (
not listed as a felony).
