welcome to the forum, same to you Reaper, I'm in Albuquerque
as for the hunting purposes, great round for medium sized game, deer, antelope, bear, etc....but i'm a firm believer that as the animal gets bigger the round needs to get bigger with more energy resulting in more knock down power, you will see that people have taken elk on here with the Grendel, however I would opt for something bigger...yep you an kill and elk with the Grendel, with a well placed shot, but we know that doesn't always happen and it wouldn't be as forgiving as the shock from a larger caliber/bullet combination
