[QUOTE="sportmuaythai, post: 292390, member: 17802"] It's good that we're discussing opinions and views, same as [B]MontanaRifleman[/B] and yours truly. I fully agree that a poorly placed shot will certainly pump the poor soul with adrenalin, grizzly or elk. Also, most responsible guides will get client to within 200yards. I've killed a grizzly in Yukon that won my guide a silver buckle and a plaque for myself. Caliber was 270 win. The grizzly measured less than 8ft.sq. I've killed a small black bear in Yukon, and a huge black bear at Duck Mountain, Manitoba, over baiting stand. I've also killed a beautiful blond sow in Alaska Pen that measured 8'4" with 30-06imp,165grain bullet. The sow's skull was quite larger than the Yukon griz. I've killed 9'+ polar and Russian griz that was just shy of 9'sq. with 300 win mag. I also witnessed 2 Russian griz killed. Both were maimed with badly placed first shot, but fell quickly with well place bullets. I've killed 2 bull elks, one in Montana and another in Hualapai reserv., AZ. Both were lung shot and went over 100 yards. A huge bull moose I shot (in the lung) running, in Yukon dropped within 5 yards. But most of all I saw a bull elk shot with 30-378Wby that flew off its four feet, only to strugle back on its feet before being shot again. Again, these are just my experiences, and like what [B]MontanaRifleman[/B] said, all animals have different tenacity. [/QUOTE]
