You need to take up archery hunting...70 yards is a long ways on an elk with a bow!!
I'm a bow guy at heart, but I regularly shotgun/muzzy hunt deer in MI. I will admit though that I love the 3-4 opportunities a year that I get at a coyote behind the house at 3-600 yards. I love the challenge of touching off a shot with my 243 that has a chance to kill one at those distances. I'm not nearly proficient enough at those kind of ranges to shoot at anything except a varmint.
Once you are beyond 2-300 yards, it becomes another type of game and turns into long range shooting and it is quite a skill to master it and have the ability to kill animals at those distances. I wish I had the time to become more proficient in long range shooting.
