[QUOTE="Glenn Tullius, post: 2507202, member: 110556"] Elk don't like dying. They just stand there and take it. I once blew the bottom half of a heart off and he started walking up the mountain like he got a bee sting...300 RUM 180 grain TTSX doing 3250fps!! Went 20 yards and just as I was going to give him the cou de gras he looked at me and fell over. Another time I hit one at 200 yards with a 250 grain Partition out of my 338 WM, double lung, and he chased a cow without even flinching for 75 yards! A third time I hit a bull 200 yards up the steep mountain with a 200 grain Hornady Interlock right behind the shoulder with the same 338 WM. It took me 20 minutes to hike to him, all the while laying there still trying to breath! Bottom line on big elk, they DON'T LIKE DYING. With enormous lungs and a lot of blood, you can expect at times performance like you described with a good shot, good caliber, and a good bullet. [/QUOTE]
