[QUOTE="SnakeRiverEric, post: 1520144, member: 68027"] The first elk I hit no bone, they seemed to just slip thru the body and the elk just stayed up and walking with the herd. I did get a shot right behind the shoulder and low and that one made her lay down with her head up. Took me at least 5 minutes to walk up to her and put her down (6th shot). Second elk first shot broke the shoulder and went down the body(the exit hole in the ham was a pin hole, maybe a petal fragment), she stayed up and took a few steps. I shot another behind the shoulder and she laid down but with head up. I started to walk up at 200 yards away she gets up and starts walking away with the herd. I take a 3rd shot into the shoulder and she tumbles and dies at least a minute later. The first shot made a mess of the shoulder and that should have stopped her as lots of blood came out when I cut off the shoulder. I just think I need a heavier bullet and probably a bigger caliber.
