[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 687488, member: 4191"] I was Caribou hunting in interior Alaska two weekends ago and was fortunate enough to shoot a decent bull, and fortunate that he left a good blood trail to enable recovery. The animal was about 350 yds away and was shot with one of '[B]elkaholic[/B]'s 190 grain SXR bullets from a .300 Win Mag. Muzzle velocity is about 3075 fps. Bullet entered and exited the ribcage on a mostly broadside shot. Here's a photo of the blood trail I followed to track down this bull: [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww125/pdhorwath/IMG_0696.jpg[/IMG] Massive blood loss out both sides of the rib cage. And a couple photos of the bull caribou: [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww125/pdhorwath/IMG_0694.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww125/pdhorwath/IMG_0691.jpg[/IMG] This bull traveled about 40 yards after bullet impact, and as you can imagine, the trailing/tracking job was not too difficult. Very nice to have caribou meat in the freezer heading into a long Alaskan winter. [/QUOTE]
