[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 95876, member: 2011"] Not that shot. Maybe another shot would have but that one was a clean miss. If I would have been behind the trigger, my reasoning would have been; "Geez the wolf sure covers more ground than a coyote". Which was exactly what happened to me when I stepped up to elk from deer. Spike elk (I had a bull only tag) and some cows were covering ground broadside at 120 yds. No way I'm gonna pass on that shot. Made it many times on mule deer. I lined up as I normally do. Bang - nothing. Bang - nothing. This was my first shot at an elk, and then in open CRP ground. A lady shot that spike about a week later. I checked it for extra holes as I still couldn't believe I missed it. Investigating after those shots, I got a real respect regarding how much ground an elk can cover then they are just seemingly floating along. I was an old hand at deer and new to elk. Both cases are lessons learned. [/QUOTE]
