[QUOTE="Hbb6601, post: 565204, member: 31743"] I completely agree with WildRose; hitting the tip of the shoulder usually puts them down immediately and ultimately leaves you a greater kill radius. IMO the small amount of meat loss is negligible. I don't mean that there isn't enough meat on the shoulder to matter I mean the amount of meat you have to trim off (blood shot) is usually a small amount, especially on an elk. I also agree fully with two other points that were brought up: 1) keep shooting until they are down no matter how good of hit it was 2) (IMO) take the first opportunity to dispatch the animal with the highest degree of success don't intentionally let it get out further just to take a long range shot. I like long range but I always take the shot as soon as possible. [/QUOTE]
