[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 2192839, member: 33159"] The Billy in my avatar is from my Kodiak Island hunt in 2018. I shot him with a 338 Lapua and the 213gr Hammer Hunter. Shot was 208 yards and I had to put it through his shoulder due to his position. Bullet went through both shoulders with about a 1.5-2” exit wound. Totally destroyed his vitals. He did a 180 upon impact, then fell over before I could get another round chambered. My hunting partner took his at about the same yardage with a 7 Rem Mag and 168 gr VLD. It didn’t die instantly and went off the side of the mountain. They spent all day retrieving it from the bottom of the mountain. My outfitter told me to bring the largest caliber I was comfortable with because you want to pole axe them so they don’t run off the side of the mountain. My recovery was much easier than my friends.
