[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 566603, member: 21869"] Sorry to here the bad luck. About 20 yrs ago I shot a nice 6 pt across a finger w/ my 7 mag,saw the hit .Young and full of juice I went over and caught bull in timber and wasnt fast enough on follow up. I was in knee deep snow, no problem, run him down. Well I chased him to south slope an no snow and lost him. Lots of lessons learned, and I was pushing my 7mm to limit. Went 338 from there on out. Taken 1/2 my 30 + ELK W/BOW.Few years back I shot a bull @ 9 yrdsand as he ran out I cow called and hit him again in "pocket "@ 40 yrd.Some cows spooked above me and I THOuGHT i herd bull go down. Temps where runnig in mid 80's. Looked that eve and recovered next mornig, near creek bottom, not one ounce of meat lost, bone sour zero,?? go figure??And I've seen guys loose meat just sittng in truck bed unskinned. [/QUOTE]
