No one ever misses a 275 yard uphill shot at a bull I am assuming ;)
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

It looks like I'm about 10 yards away WHAMO. Right in the forehead now I just need to dodge the piss stream as he's rolling down the hill.

With a good rest, and his antlers hit the ground the same time he does.   :drool:

"but will soon head down into the thick bottom"

No shot because of the horizon--I don't know my back stop.  Since I think he's headed down, I'm waiting for him to take a few steps so my exiting bullet hits the dirt. 

For those that took the shot, I don't think that is a bad choice. I agree that the bullet energy after traveling across the canyon and plowing through the elk is minimal, so it doesn't go far.  Still an unknown, though, and I like control.
