[QUOTE="Gcan, post: 1636480, member: 102867"] I hate to be a nudge but an elk running 20 mph at 300 with a bullet with a 2900fps muzzle velocity needs 122” (10’) lead. Just saying. I have no doubt the elk was shot. Its more likely that it stopped for that split second that seems like they didn’t stop at all. I shot one of my best deer on a dead run. I was sitting on a ledge about 20’ up watching a tangle. Something scared a squirrel, the squirrel scared up the buck and the buck came at my 7:00. He was running full out but jumping logs as he went. I saw a large downed pine in his path and ambushed him. I shot him right in the heart at 80 yards as his front feet hit the ground on my side of the tree. His chest was almost still while his butt was still moving 10-15 mph over the tree. So I shot the front of him standing while the back half was running. But I technically shot him running. Hunting is full of contradictions. [ATTACH=full]134247[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
