[QUOTE="Jonoton, post: 1763584, member: 100300"] Granted I have a sample size of 1 for shots and kills on elk, and for that one I took a double lung shot that worked very well in terms of damage to the lungs and blood expelled from the exit wound... I have to ask, why is the shoulder shot popular on elk? It seems like it has more negatives than positives, as your informative post illustrates: Negatives: - meat damage - tough bones to destroy in order to immobilize - tough structure to get through in order to get to and destroy vitals Positives: + not going far if you do destroy a front leg + ?
