Yep. Was gonna say that this is a question tailor made for Buzz.....que a @BuzzH picture montage of dead elk from a well placed 7mm-08 in 5, 4, 3, 2...
I couldn't agree more. I was very proud of him when I saw that shot. Nothing aggravates me more than trying to trim bloodshot meat off the shoulders.This is as perfect a shot as you can get. Tight against the shoulder blade and through both lungs. I never understood the mentality of trying to blow bone fragments through good meat. Why does it matter if an elk runs 50 yards when it has a good blood trail?
A 7mm/08 is basically a 308 but with more choices of bullets.
Same. Also cut myself on this little bugger because I blew bone into good meat.. I had to find and keep my souvenir.. Now I will throw a stick in the cog here and say don’t count-out a neck shot. I’d rather get clean miss than hit guts or bones. Some may argue. Just make an ethical shot. Trust your judgement.Nope, heart and lungs. The one I shot in the shoulder required a follow up shot 20 min later. No tracking but it didn’t need to suffer while it waited for me to get there.
I shot a knuckle with a 140gr Berger Elite Hunter from 6.5-257AI . It went through the knuckle and into the lungs.View attachment 225152
This bull took two to the shoulder. First one through both blades. Second one hit the knuckle and still made it into the vitals. And guess what bullet it was. One of those terrible Berger vlds that supposedly grenade on a fly. 140 Berger vld from a 6.5-06
