[QUOTE="trueblue, post: 1252608, member: 10654"] I am not sure if others do this, but when I have taken a shot at an elk, I will "play the wind" In other words, say I have a left to right wind of 5 mph. I know what my wind hold should be, say 1.5 MOA at 700 yards. Which basically is about 10.5" If the elk is facing left, I will hold on the shoulder. If I got the wind call wrong, and there is no wind, I will still take the elk with a shoulder shot. If my wind call is correct, my bullet placement will drift to the right, and give me an impact in the boiler room just behind the shoulder. Just something to keep in mind. Do what you can to put the odds in your favor. [/QUOTE]
