[QUOTE="Speedo, post: 483057, member: 27223"] Never hunted elk so I won't comment on them, moose I have hunted. I've been either the shooter or standing by on well over a hundred of them and they aren't even close to a brown/griz when both are aware that you are there. I live close to salmon spawning grounds and we have some good sized brown bears around here, like on the road in front of my place. You might even run into a 10 footer in this area. If you have ever had to go into the brush after a wounded bear you wouldn't want to count on a lung shot bear having both lungs totally blown out. I've seen bullets expand and demolish a lung on an animal and I've also seen a hole through a lung that didn't do much damage at all. If you take out a shoulder you've slowed them down a bunch. Taking out the lungs is, more than likely, going to kill them but a big bear can do an unbelievable amount of damage before they expire.
