What shooting position were you in for your last shot at an elk?

[bluumoon]

I'm planning on a lot more practice from different shooting positions this year. Prone was not an option for my shot this year. Curious what positions others ended up shooting from this year.

 

[Hunt4lyf]

Prone over my pack in about a foot of snow.

 

[Achigan1]

Prone, Harris bipod up front

 

[Hoodie]

Seated off a pack @ 205 yards.

Offhand. All four elk I've killed with a rifle were offhand and under 100 yards. Bow was the same, standing up.

Prone- Harris bipod up front and jacket under the butt of the stock. Hit the exact spot I was aiming for.

 

[Indian Summer]

Last 3 sitting with a Bog Pod tripod.

All of my rifle elk over 25 year span were all off hand (max about 225 yards), and all of my bow shots have been standing. And actually, a couple of those rifle shots were from off a horse.

I'd be quite proud of my self if I felt like I could pull off a 225 yard shot off hand, going to take a lot more practice.

It does take practice. My last two deer were 195 and 185. Offhand

 

[Trr15]

One knee on the ground, elbow resting on the other knee. Two of the last three have been killed from that position.

prone, atlas bipod, tab gear prs sling rear support no wind .753 yards

Shot my cow with my muzzleloader across my knee while sitting on my butt this year. It was a quick opportunity in a foot of snow so it was my best choice.

Sitting / crouching using SG frame pack for rest. Not the most stable, but able to put a 12 gauge slug in a bull at 200 yards

Standing using a dead pinion for support. Previous to that was kneeling.
