[QUOTE="Frenchie1, post: 1595472, member: 84014"] I also had a similar experience in the thick of Western Washington, shooting through vine maples at a cow elk and could not figure out how I could have missed at 40yds! The cow trotted off and as I stood there reloading, I looked up in time to see a 2" maple slowly fall over at about the 3' mark. The elk crossed in front of my father in law and brother in law about 80 yds from me and we started looking for any signs of a hit but to no avail. My father in law, being the great guy that he is, went back up on that mountain a month later, found the tree and cut out that section and mounted it in a really nice barn board, shadow box frame for me for Christmas and it has been on my wall ever since. I left out that this was my first year with a muzzle loader so before anyone jumps on me about not getting a follow up shot off,,,,,,,,,, [/QUOTE]
