[QUOTE="Broz, post: 1239192, member: 7503"] Some things never change. I guess I look at the odds. I have seen 100's of elk go down with one shot from cup core bullets. Its easy to call "fail", when its the bullet you choose to bash to make your choice look better. [B]FACT[/B] is, if you gather enough data you will find that things like this either have happened, or will happen with every bullet made. Guess I should have told the story about one I found last year wounded from a solid that went 1/4 mile and was not recovered the night before. In and out with no blood trail and a small exit. Birds and coyotes found it for me. But I realize from experience that these things happen even if we give 100% to try to prevent it. Now don't take this as me recommending using a fragmenting bullet of 170 gr for moose, you all know I would be using a heavier bullet. I cant honestly say what went on in the vid. I don't think anyone can for sure. But hey lets celebrate that its a chance to criticize, bash, make smart *** remarks, and even down people for how they prepare their hunting rounds. Even if they are simply doing all they can to make clean and quick kills. But above all lets, forget all these success stories.

In the end we will ALL look better and maybe even learn something. I have ate crow before, most of us have. Beware, your serving could be coming. Jeff [/QUOTE]
