[QUOTE="ToKeepAndBear, post: 867661, member: 34194"] Thanks SBruce! I did not enter the chest to completely examine the trauma. However, the bullet entered left side of elks chest and there was notable bruising/hemorrhaging behind the right shoulder about 8 inches, discretely different from the second shot wound. It probably penetrated roughly 22 inches. I think it was a mortal wound but who knows how far he would have gone without the second shot. Some other hunters witnessed the first shot from a better vantage and said that he stumbled for several steps. They thought that he was going to go down and were surprised that he required a second shot. They are tough animals! The first 100 yard shot had 2666 ft/lbs of energy and a velocity of 2450fps. The second 400 yard shot had 1976 ft/lbs of energy and a velocity of 2109 fps. The DA was 9000 feet. TKAB [/QUOTE]
