[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1967636, member: 14204"] Murphy NEVER discriminates and sometimes even with a well-placed shot, the game does NOT expire as the nut behind the trigger hopes for. A few years ago on an elk hunt, we harvested 3 bull elk. My 1st buddy shot his with a 7MM Mag with factory Berger 180 at ~300 yards and it dropped on the spot. My 2nd buddy was using a .300 WM with 180 Barnes TTSX at under 100 yards but it took 3 shots. Mine was with a .300 WM with 190 Berger VLD handload at 931 yards and the bull managed to run ~200 yards. All shot placement was good and bullet performed as advertised but the elk expired differently. Below is a WT doe taken with my .270 AI with 175 Matrix VLD propelling at 2993 FPS at ~125 yards (by the tree line). No, it is NOT a gutshot. If you look closely, I blew the heart, while nearly field dressing it. On the 1st picture, you can tell where she was shot at but still managed a few steps despite the fatal shot.
