[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1763935, member: 13632"] I think it's the idea they can knock them down or that their so tough you have to break them down which can be true especially if your shooting them in the shoulder. If hit a shoulder your loosing meat right of the bat regardless of bullet, the average is 8 lbs a bullet hole from weighting a lot of elk, take out both shoulders you lost 16 lbs, hit one bad and your loosing 30 lbs. I've shot them in the shoulder just because they were about to go some where bad or they were wounded and I wanted them stopped ASAP. I will shoot one to test a bullet so I know and I'm willing to see some loss to gain knowledge BUT over all just not a shot that's worth it. Your literally taking the path of most resistance!!
