[QUOTE="AH64guy, post: 1792628, member: 46843"] For me, it’s another tool in the hunting kit that I’ll use if I think the situation merits stopping the animal as soon as possible. I learned early on about soft bullets and the tissue damage / meat loss, mainly due to my poor bullet placement. As time and experience came, I became better at getting the bullet into the critical areas, and had little concern for crossing property lines, generally being far enough away that it wasn’t a factor. My last rifle elk was a shoulder shot, with a follow up in the lungs - he was down in 40 yards with minimal waste. But, he was standing on the edge of a canyon that was going to be a cast iron b-atch to get him out of, or have him drop within a half mile of a hiking trail. He was a bone-out pack for either location, so I went for the quicker stop. Had I seen him in another location, another day, I may have decided differently. [/QUOTE]
