[QUOTE="GonzoK34, post: 529661, member: 8915"] Ethical and humane kills are every hunters goal. But we've all experienced "Murphy's Law"! Hunting shots at animals are not bench rest perfect. Bad shot placement happens more often in firearms shooting than in arrow placement in bow hunting. Why? The majority of bow hunters spent considerably more time developing their shooting skills and stalking abilities. I share this as a bow hunter and a rifleman. Tracking wounded animals is a skill set that is learned and developed through experiences. Arrow killed game in most cases requires tracking the game to its final resting point. Well placed Rifle shot game usually is DRT or can and does travel less than a 100 yards. Wounded elk on the other hand DO cover allot ground before expiring. Tracking skills are truly challenged. I've shoot large animals with medium caliber rounds with mixed effects. But all the ones that I've shot with the 300WM die right there or walked (not run) less than 20-30yds. Follow up shots were easy to make. Locating the animal was easy. Getting them out has always been work. Buy the caliber that suits you and practice allot. Be proficient and develop your hunting and tracking skills. predatorxtreme.com has a motto: [B]"Hunt Hard, Shoot Straight, Kill Clean, Apologize to No One"[/B] It's something I practice and every hunter no matter what they hunt with is responsible for.
