[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 289968, member: 4885"] If they absolutely aren't hit in a "dead right there" area (ie. central nervous system), they can go for miles. I saw a cow that was hit in a single lung and heart that went for 2 miles. I think the blood filled the area around the heart and it acted like a sump pump! The hit was with a 7mm Rem Mag from about 300yds. The only reason she stopped in 2 miles was that she was shot with the 7mm again behind the ear as she looked back to see who was following her! I'm sure that 1/2" further back on the heart and she would have went only 50yds or so. Elk can die easily, but it's not the norm. AJ [/QUOTE]
