[QUOTE="Troutslayer2, post: 2018342, member: 25190"] I took a small bull elk yesterday with a 215. He was broadside at 500YDS, partially obscured by alders. It was a little more hurried than I would like it to be but I made a good shot. I did not hear the hit but he ran downhill while the other bull he was with ran uphill. Made a long walk up to where he was standing and had good blood, I double lunged him high. He went about 50YDS but unfortunately that 50 YDS was into some nasty stuff. His organs were indiscernible, complete jelly, which I was kind of bummed about because I thought I might get the heart to eat. The exit wound was a little far back like something deflected but was decent size maybe 2” diameter. I was apprehensive as I walked up to where he was, partially because of this thread and others like it and I didn’t see him go down. After seeing the damage to literally everything that makes a body work, it was shocking that he was able to take a single step but that is elk. Zero meat damage. Sorry no good pics. He died in a pretty bad spot and just working on him was a chore, it took the whole day for two of us to pack him out. [/QUOTE]
