[QUOTE="slowrunning, post: 1357335, member: 45968"] Jason - I am glad you posted this. It's a guessing game if the caliber would have mattered but its hard to go wrong by going big. I have a buddy that just got back from an expensive MT elk hunt and his rangefinder batteries died during the hunt. He ended up tagging out on the last evening on one of the only bulls he saw the whole week. He said he estimated 400 yards but he doesn't think his first shot connected, says the bull didn't respond like he got hit but didn't run either. He shot again holding .5 mil higher and saw the bull get hit, one more killed him. It's hard to imagine losing something like that cause of a battery. After hearing a few rangefinder horror stories this year I may spend some time learning to reticle range animals a lot better. Anyways, fair odds your cow is grazing somewhere as we speak. [/QUOTE]
