[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2007012, member: 101791"] I didn't have a problem with your shooting. There is a lot of people that don't know what they are doing. Claiming they shot the animal in the heart and it just ran off. Track it for miles and it didn't stop. More than likely it was gut shot. I hit two elk in the heart one morning withing a minute or two. Both reacted the same. The first was a bull I shot, and second was a wounded cow that a friend hit in the guts. The interesting part of that they reacted the same way when I hit them. Their 4 legs shot out to their sides and drop like a rock. I don't know for sure if that normal or not. The bullets were within a 1/2" of being in the same spot on the heart. both hearts were split open from the hit area to the bottom of the heart. [/QUOTE]
