[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1526913, member: 13632"] It's a tough one with kids on elk, I really feel for the OP, I would applaud you and your kid for getting back in there and getting her and one should be proud of him being compossed enough to put a second shot on her, I've seen many men do a mag dump and never come close after the first shot. Unfortunately learning the effects of shot placement is sometimes a rocky road I hope it didn't shake him!! I use a little elk picture when taking kids so they have a reference point and I have them hold back 4-6 inches back from the crease, your still in the middle of the lungs but helping them stay of the shoulder. The Creedmore and the bullet we're fine choices for a youngster on elk, it's just to much for that bullet to punch through every time. I've watch three elk in one week get shot in the shoulder and not have the bullet make it into the chest, 300 WBY with 168 TSX, 30-06 with 165 TSX and a 300 WSM with a 180 Accubond. I had to dispatch the first, the second I called the shot and he held back on her and dropped her with a heart shot, the third ran to just over 600 and stopped and I blew her heart out with a 140 gr Berger. A friend shoots a Creedmore and most season everyone ends up using it to shoot elk, every shot in the crease or a little back with a 140 Berger and nothing requires a second shot or tracking, the main thing is not shooting them in the shoulder!!
