Newbie for elk/ axis buck rifle recommend?

Res4cue said:
Hello. I am a newbie hunter. Few kills for food, but nothing worth mounting. I am planning a trip to Texas in November for a white tail and possibly an axis buck. The ranch that I hunted on this past week said that a 6.5 Creedmoor is not enough for an axis buck 200 yds out. I will also be joining a friend up in Montana for some elk as well. I will obviously make the final decision but I am always looking to learn and hear educated opinions. Thank you.

Your friend is right...
Go with a .50 cal...
The good thing is... when you find it, it will be already quartered and ready to go...
