[QUOTE="newmexkid, post: 514337, member: 33152"] I agree with 444Shooter...[U]"If the shot is placed right and at a reasonable distance". [/U] When I lived in Wyoming I shot over 15 elk. I have seen a cow elk absorb a well placed shot, (chest area) from a .300 win mag and hardly flinch...Then run into the timber aways and drop. But...On the other hand while in Wyoming a buddy always used a .243 and always got an elk. I personally saw him shoot a cow moose with his .243 with 100 gr. Part'. at about 80 yards and it dropped like a sack of wheat. Shot placement, shot placement. Good Luck I hope you guys have a good memorable hunt. [/QUOTE]
