[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 580077, member: 13632"] OK, so by closest count I've cut somewhere around 1800 ish head of elk and close to a hundred bison so ya I've cut taken apart a few elk. One local guy pops buff with a 243 through the heart, big deal! The point is that shot did not contact the spinal column and kill the bull, had it been a couple inches lower it would have done the trick, 8in lower and it would have gone under the spine blowing shards into the lungs, done deal. The first pic was more to help guys see that the shot should have been lower to connect with the goodies, the second pic is to show guys just how freaking big the shoulder joint is. What % will your 25-06 shoot through that joint and if it matters my first elk rifle was a 250-3000 and it did just fine, I'm not pushing big cal, cause I don't shoot them any more anyway I'm pushing better shot placement that fits the bullet your shooting!!! What long shot story are you not believing, this isn't a long shot story it was only 350 yards. Or are you referring to my bull at 865 yards this year. OK, it took me a long time to write that last post man this needs to cool down. A lot of good hunter do it different and debating and talking about it is cool but dang gunning each other in the gutts is a little weak and not to the point. Cat [/QUOTE]
