[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2309324, member: 101791"] I hit and elk in about the same location. he was walking. I knew I hit the elk, but I didn't quite give him enough lead. It impress me what each step the elks over a deer for one. He was in herd of elk of about 50. The shot was only about 150 to 200 yds away. I had to work on not hitting another elk behind him at the same time. The bullet passed between the end of the ribs, and did hit anything else It missed anything that was vital. Couldn't believe it. Missed the lung and diaphragm, no liver or guts. Didn't hardly bleed from that location. If the animal was hit in the liver, it would have it ran a short distance, drop it's head to the ground and backed up laboring in a jerking motion. It will drop in a few seconds or so. Judging by the location shown I think, you did what I had done. The shot was to far back missing the vitals. Whether the animal lives, I don't think so. I also feel the bullet didn't open up.
