With a decent bullet no problem. I have little doubt at 60 yards and given how close he is to the brush in front of him that you have a good shot opportunity in the shoulder/vitals.

I shot a whitetail in the neck like that Sunday in Montana, but the distance was closer to 40 yards.  And I had a little more neck to shoot at. 
Bow - no way
Muzzleloader - I would probably wait to see if he would give me a better shot
300 RUM - I would take the shot.

bow, he walks

Center-fire rifle...he will hit the dirt.  just under and to the rt of the chin for the neck shot.

muzzy?  depends...

:yeah:

Exactly where I would aim. To me the head shot is not a very good shot. Target is too small. Besides that you'd ruin the skull plate. That's too nice of a bull to split those antlers in half.

I don't know about you, but I don't think there is an easy drag out for an elk unless it gets dropped on a snowy hillside just uphill from the truck.

Anyway, I'd take the neck shot.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.
