[QUOTE="Bill Van Horn, post: 2414302, member: 22396"] I generally agree. After more than 100 bison and nearly that many elk all of which were for meat this is my opinion. The Faster the animal loses concious (not necessisarly death) the less adrenalin and the better the meat. A double lung shot (which allows for some impact variation) that expands and blows up both lungs and exits allows for rapid hemorage which results in death. Well bled out meat is significantly better tasting. Avoid heart and brain/upper spinal shots that shut down the heart which powers the bleed out. I have used a variety of calibers and have settled on a .338 Norma suppressed ,.225 Hornady and prefer ranges of +/- 200 yds. from cover. Animals usually drop and don't attempt getting up. There is little disturbance and if the stalk is proper multiple animals can be taken (the old time buffalo hunters would some times get a "stand" and shoot up to 100 animals with out getting up). The only meat damage is to the ribs. [/QUOTE]
