[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1511719, member: 101859"] There was not much blood actually at least compared to a heart shot. And in my experience a solid lung shot is a faster kill than a heart shot, but not by much. It would have taken some time to die from blood loss. There was coagulated blood in the mouth from the lung damage. Death would have been most likely choking on its own blood. A solid lung or heart shot certainly lets them run a little but death comes fast. This is also a good example of why we like to recommend .30s and up for elk. You want enough bullet in case you get blown into the shoulder. [/QUOTE]
