[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1240695, member: 7999"] Yep. A nice big hole all the way through the lungs is the right medicine. Best advice I was ever given on elk. If it is not on the ground shoot it again. I will ad to that and say if it is on the ground keep your eye on it and make sure it stays on the ground. I have seen them on the ground then get up without the shooter being ready. This did not end well. The shots that I am most leery of are the ones that the elk drops on the shot. When you can see them stagger and tip over, you are in business. Twice I have seen big bulls drop on the shot, get up and stagger a bit then run off, never to be seen again. I am pretty sure they were hit near the spine but without enough damage to break it. Crease or just under but above the lungs. Just center the lungs and all will go well. Steve [/QUOTE]
