« on: April 28, 2013, 09:08:15 PM »
All I can say is wow this thing took a 225 grain bullet at 290 yards behind the shoulder it ran  150 yards and  just fell over dead. Everything else I shot was DRT except this thing.

I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

Looks like a high lung shot to me.  It's amazing how any animal can run as far as they do on a high lunger.

Once while hunting coyotes in August, my dad roasted a pup of a pack of four.  He shot it with a .22-250 at around 40 yards.  The 55 grain bullet entered through the shoulder and exited the opposite hip.  The path ripped a huge hole and that little dog ran over 200 yards and still needed another dose.

It crazy how much they can take. Then you hit one crapy and it just drops :dunno:

Then I pop one in the gut with a Mini-14 at like 150 and he takes a nap   :dunno:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

But, wait, that can't be true!  I've had so many people tell me I need a super duper whiz bang magnum caliber because it kills animals with one shot - just the wind from a near miss is enough to drop deer - bear and elk will fall over sometimes just from the report...

Ok, seriously, one of those wild things that happen when things get shot.  You just never know how the animal will react...
Of sorrow and sickness I've known on my way,
But I'm old and I'm nervis,
I'm cast from the Service,
And all I deserve is a shillin' a day.
