[QUOTE="JohnnieB, post: 2223369, member: 41502"] I've killed 3 and yes I do find them to be the toughest animals I've ever hunted. 2 with my 340 Wby, and 1 with a 270WSM. First one with a 340 and I accidently spined him, took 3 more shots to finish him, he simply would not die and literally was laying there bellowing at me until he died with no heart or lungs left. Second one was a perfect shot right through the lower section on both shoulders broadside, ran straight for about 90-100 yards, bullet took out the arteries over the heart and the lungs. All 340 bullets were 225 TTSX, with a couple passthroughs. Last one was with a 270 WSM, spot and stalk as I was after something else and found a huge old bull (body, not horns), and one 130 grain TTSX through the lungs dropped him on the spot. Its all about shot placement and the strongest bullets you can find. Shoot them like african game, straight up the leg through the meat of the shoulder. My personal opinion is that a 300WM, with good bullets, say a 180 TTSX, would perform well. [/QUOTE]
