[QUOTE="crazymonkey, post: 2934680, member: 125421"] I've shot each the neck and shoulder on elk . One was a big 6x5 bull with a 50 cal muzzleloader at 80-90 yds broadside . Hit in front of the shoulder at the base of the neck . 338 powerbelt and a 150 pyrodex charge dumped the big old boy in his tracks. My go to gun is a 300 win and hit a cow elk low shoulder thru the top of the heart and out the pouch behind the off leg and she ran about 100 yds . Made for a no blood tracking job. The problem with shoulder is usually the meat loss . That's a big chunk of meat to waste from blood shot or fragments and only gets worse if you get penatration thru the off side. I'd have to admit I'll take the shot I'm given but need to focus on a rib or two back and put it thru the lungs. [/QUOTE]
