[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1231824, member: 13632"] Put it behind the shoulder, I've seen every bullet style not make it through an elk shoulder from a 7mm, high shoulder they will work every time but if you haven't shot elk before you'll likely shoot over the top of the spine and just wound them, an elks spine is much deeper from the top of the shoulder than deer hunters are used to so you shoot, they drop and you walk over there and no elk or you see them start kicking and getting up after a few minutes and have to put another on in them until you learn were to hold, easier just to blow their lungs and heart out and watch them tumble, where they fall is where they'll be!
