[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 419452, member: 2011"] 4ked horn, Shot placement is the key! I know you can put it where you what (if you don't get the fever:D) Be observant of the terrain conditions. Double lung shot is deadly but not DRT on a large bull and maybe not any elk. You don't want to be chasing after it. A heart shot is good for 0 to maybe 150 yds on the out side. Get as close as you can even if its 600 yds, if you can put the shot in the heart it won't go very far regardless of what cartridge/bullet you are using. The "crazies" around here shoot their 308s as long as they see elk. Once in awhile they get one:rolleyes:. Go for the yearling cow or spike. Makes life a lot easier.:D [/QUOTE]
