[QUOTE="BuckeyeRifleman, post: 1806957, member: 110280"] And I just happened to make a 350 yard shot on a much smaller mule deer doe with high winds that same trip, but somehow magically missed the Elk with a vital zone twice the size at 300 yards in zero wind? Bottom line you weren’t there. I was. I felt 100% confident in the shot. Lack of any blood trail and an unfortunately timed storm is more to blame than anything. But upgrading to a more appropriate caliber won’t hurt the next time I spend 10 days and a few thousand dollars on a hunt. I’m not talking about upgrading to some flinch inducing 7 lb 300 RUM. Your trolling doesn’t change anything at this point and just makes you look like a ___. [/QUOTE]
