[QUOTE="PredatorSlayer, post: 1790628, member: 110866"] I think a lot of people expect elk to drop and have their legs come out from under them when they are shot like Mule Deer. It just doesnt happen very often, unless you hit them with a high shoulder shot. I get the whole shoot until they are down, but most of the time they just wobble around for a while and then kill over. While they are staggering around, guys will put a few rounds in them. If the first shot was a good hit those extra rounds are unnecessary. They have died the same way shot with 215’s in my 300 rum and 115’s in my 25-06. Stagger around for a few seconds and fall over. After several kills I have settled on a 6.5 PRC for my main elk gun. I am not recoil shy either - still youngish (mid 30’s) 6’5 240. [/QUOTE]
