[QUOTE="BuckeyeRifleman, post: 1806965, member: 110280"] We were 5 miles from the truck, 2.5 from camp, had zero sign of a hit, a 40 degree negative temperature swing in less an an hour and had to leave due to safety concerns (frozen water, wet clothes.) Any tracks/sign that was there was completely covered up with several inches of fresh snow in the morning. We made a judgement call we needed to head back to the trailhead rather than risk the weather to look for a likely impossible to find elk. When’s the right time to just call it? Or should’ve we just kept looking until we froze to death as some ode to the animal? Newsflash, the Elk doesn’t care. I didn’t start this thread because I’m happy how things turned out. Again, you weren’t there, so I’d appreciate if you kept to the topic of this thread. Also yes, if it hadn’t happened to me, I wouldn’t have believed it either. I used to think just like you, all these people talking about bullet failures are full of it. The CM ELDX combo always worked great, up until it didn’t. [/QUOTE]
