[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2597692, member: 9299"] There have only been 2 times that I shot at and missed an "elk". One was on a surprised and rapidly moving heard on the side of a mountain that I quickly guestimated to be in the 500 yd range, and from the sitting position, I gave slightly to much lead and watched my shot impact dirt just in front. However, I let that heard run up the top and slow then connected with a 890 yd shot. The second was on a 1,200+yd shot on a walking bull that was about to leave my sight, and I rushed into a prone position and again misled the animal in the front. After that, he wondered into another hunter's range, and was taken down. That one really hurt my pride, for he was a very good bull and was taken by a first time elk hunter from another state. Other game animal misses through the decades have involved trees and limbs, very tall, thick grasses, rapid standing shots and those running game that required immediate snap shots. [/QUOTE]
