[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 1602474, member: 53101"] You can actually see the impact in the video. Like you said it was low and a little forward. 3" left and it would be a double lung (if it wasn't already). 3" left and 5" higher and it would have been in good spot. At about 3:50 on the video you can see across to where the elk was for the first and last shots. Between the wind on the ridge from where they were shooting from and the lack of wind down by the elk for the last shot, I'd say the guy did pretty good on his first shot. There was a big difference in wind from the trees swaying on top of the ridge line and the surface wind around the elk. I have see POI shift a lot going across valleys in wind like that. I find it sickening that people are so critical on a hunting forum and are commenting on suffering, bad shots, ethics, calling them idiots...... about this video. If hunters are so negative when they see a video of an elk hunt, I can only imagine the sport will be dead soon or regulated out of existence. I would also point out that the "sky line" shot was most likely more of an optical illusion of the camera than anything else. When you see the valley zoomed out, the missed shot over the elks back hit the dirt, and a cow run behind the bull 25 yards back and 10ft higher then the bull.... I think that what people think is the ridge line from the camera went on for 70 yards and was actually 20ft higher then the elk. But whatever, I tend to give the benefit of the doubt considering I wasn't there and things can look a lot different on camera. [/QUOTE]
