[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1575730, member: 104363"] 9 times? Open sights? The first elk I ever shot was quartering to me at 60 yards, put one round between neck and left shoulder and exiting out the back of right lung, flipped him over backwards and never moved. He was about 500# on the hoof. The lung cavity went thru a blender. The exit was maybe 2" in diameter. I do not understand how that many hits were taken by an elk in those vital areas and did not go down in shot 1 or 2. 3 of my elk were taken with a 240 gr. .44 mag bullet, in a sabot, from a muzzle loader. Most were smaller elk, but they were DRT. I have antelope and elk on the same muzzleloader load. Please explain what the "terminal" looked like? [/QUOTE]
