[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 580101, member: 4885"] Hey Kirk, Fact is Fact. If you shoot an elk in the shoulder and don't 1) Break the shoulder (not just punch a hole). 2) Take out the lungs and/or heart. 3) Take out the spinal cord. Then THEY CAN RUN FOREVER!!! Taking Bison with shoulder shots with a 25-06, that's all I need to know about your acumen with regard to shot placement and cartridge selection. A single shot into the heart with a 25-06 would be reasonable, but not a "shoulder/lung" shot. There is a HUGE difference between trying to just punch right through big bones with questionable calibers and picking a specific spot that will avoid the big bones and take out the boiler room.
