[QUOTE="firstcoueswas80, post: 98542, member: 5376"] my most memorable is every big game animal i have killed but three stick out in my mind: the first was my first big game animal. it is a spike bull elk that my dad and i stock to within 250 yards. i get on my knees and put my savage 99e .308 on his chest. i squeeze one off and i miss the elk start running. i quickly jack another round in and get on the bull. he is running fill speed at about 250 yards up hill from me. i put the cross haits on his knows and as soon as i squeeze the trigger, he falls! i hit him right below the jaw bone and he fell dead as a door knob! second elk: cow elk at about 75 yards. same rifle, i shoot her right through the heart and she does an backflip up off the ground. my first deer, 17 yeard old 30-06 125 nosler ballistic tips. he was standing at 400 yards about to die because he alread had 2 wholes in him. i put the cross hairs above his shoulder because i do not want him to go anywhere. i squeeze the trigger and hear the loudest WHAP i have ever heard in my life! that shot broke both shoulders, destroyed the heart and both lungs. i also shot a fleeing quail in the air with one hand on my shotgun.
