[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1845498, member: 13632"] High shoulder shots are one of the highest percentage for wounded elk, ya its a shot that can anchor them but I've watched a LOT of elk recover from it after missing the spine by a half inch and get into worse place than they would have if they had just stood there wobbling for a few seconds. Of all the elk I've had to dispatch high shoulder is the one I see the most, many time you don't kill them they are just paralyzed and I don't see it as fair to the animal to just paralyzed them so I can have it easy, if we do shoot a high shoulder shot many times we send a second one through the chest to make sure they are anchored and dead.
